What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

Never before have we had a resource that has brought together research that thoughtfully considers the full spectrum of deviance; who enacts deviance; the environmental conditions that drive people to deviance; and the consequences of deviances on actors, victims, and bystanders. This is a valuable volume for anyone with interest in the issues inherent to complex people working together within complex systems."-Deborah E. Rupp,William C. Byham Chair in Industrial/Organizational Psychology, Purdue University
