More about the book

Exploring the interplay between societal responses and undesirable behaviors, this book delves into how emotions like anger, fear, and pity shape our interactions with crime and disabilities. It emphasizes the influence of personality, context, and culture on these responses, while examining their implications for the well-being of those labeled as deviant. The authors provide insights into psychological processes and propose strategies to mitigate stigmatization, ultimately aiming to enhance understanding and foster more compassionate social control mechanisms.
