I particularly like the theoretical debates between the various authors; I really appreciate the theoretical work, as opposed to the typical 'issue' focus that deviance and regulation books tend to have. [...] I value this book because of the quality of the authors that you have pulled together as well as the grounding theoretical debate between materialism and post-structuralism and its Canadian content."" - Gillian Balfour, Trent University
