MOXON, David (2017). What is crime, what is deviance? Reflections on the development and contemporary relevance of Sumner’s notion of social censure. In: AMATRUDO, Anthony, (ed.) Social censure and critical criminology. London, Palgrave Macmillan, 303-331. [Book Section]

Abstract
That there are no universally accepted definitions of the terms ‘crime’ and ‘deviance’ within the field of criminology may surprise those with only a passing acquaintance with it. Instead, those engaged in the criminological endeavour are faced with a wealth of debate over what intuitively seem like straightforwardly ‘common sense’ notions.
