Book Description
Her fate is in my hands. Ellie showed up on our family's property vulnerable, alone, and without any memories. Trespassing in mafia territory should have resulted in her death. But on my birthday, she became my gift-to use, to mold, to break. She owes me her life. Until the day she dies, she is mine. As her secrets unraveled, it became clear that one of our enemies sent her. I should have killed her right then and there. But Ellie was a mystery, and like a moth to a flame, she lured me in. Then she learned who I truly was. We couldn't resist the urge to destroy each other. And I knew it would ruin us. For what could be more reckless than falling for a dangerous woman? Author's Note: Dangerous Deviance is the first book in the dark mafia series, The Adler Brothers. It is Wil and Ellie's story. It contains dark and disturbing content. Reader discretion is advised.

The Politics and Morality of Deviance
Author: Nachman Ben-Yehuda
Publisher: SUNY Press
ISBN: 9780791401224
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
The Politics and Morality of Deviance develops a theoretical framework and then applies it to four different and specific case studies in an explicit attempt to put the sociology of deviance back into mainstream sociology. It argues that deviance should be analyzed as a relative phenomenon in different and changing cultures, vis-a-vis change and stability in the boundaries of different symbolic/moral universes. It also argues that the legitimization of power should be thought of in terms of a moral order that in turn defines the societal boundaries of different symbolic/moral universes. Mills' concept of motivational accounting systems is utilized throughout the text in order to illustrate how the micro and macro levels of analysis can be integrated.

Deviance Among Physicians
Author: Thaddeus L. Johnson
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429656459
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 77
Book Description
The concept of deviance is complex, given that norms vary considerably across groups, times, and places. Society tends to primarily recognize traditional portraits of deviants such as street-offenders and drug addicts. The label "deviant" is commonly cast upon society’s undesirables, but this socially constructed image often overlooks subtler—and arguably more dangerous—deviance. Physician malfeasance is an especially problematic form, given that medical professionals garner trust, autonomy, and prestige from society, which allows them to operate outside of the public eye. This book responds to a growing number of concerns regarding deviant physician actions such as physically and sexually abusive behaviors, fabricating medical findings and records, and taking advantage of patients (e.g., filing fraudulent Medicaid claims). It explores theoretical explanations for physician deviance, and goes on to consider potential responses such as Medicaid Fraud Control Units, the Questionable Doctors database, and the ability of doctors to police themselves. The unique perspective offered in this book informs discussions of white-collar crime and deviance and has important implications for researchers, policymakers, and students involved in criminal justice and public policy.
