The Social Construction of Crime File Size: 850k Format: Textbook Chapter Author: Chris.Livesey and Tony Lawson |

| I get loads of requests for information on deviancy amplification, so here it is, neatly bundled with context material about Interactionist perspectives on crime and deviance. As a bonus I've also included a section on postmodern criminology. The material is taken from the published version of A2 Sociology for AQA and it's designed to meet the requirements of the 2006 AQA Specification (although it's going to be equally applicable to the new (2008) AQA Specification). | ||

Okay, you've had a look through the free stuff - there's plenty of it after all.
Perhaps there's a bit too much? Maybe you're the kind of guy or gurl who likes
things a little more structured avec, peutetre, a little more je
n c'est quoi? (as I didn't say when failing French GCSE four times). Well, fret not mon ami because A2 Sociology For AQA is just what you're looking for (presupposing you're looking for an A2 textbook with full coverage of the Crime and Deviance unit - if you're looking for a copy of Nuts, Zoo or Elle then I'm afraid you're out of luck). What more can I say to convince you? How about, "It's a work of undiluted genius" or "You can't be a freeloader all your life" or "Buy this book because I really need the money"? |
