Survey's public perceptions of deviant behavior cross-culturally: in India, Indonesia, Iran, Italy, Yugoslavia and the United States. This work discovers that the strength of religious belief and urban rural background accounted for major differences in the perception of deviance - when differences were identified.

Punishment occupies a central place in our lives and attitudes. We suffer a profound ambivalence about its moral consequences. Persons who have been punished or are liable to be punished have long objected to the legitimacy of punishment. We are all objects of punishment, yet we are also its users. This book describes the uses of punishment.
