Sull'autore

David Matza is a prominent sociologist known for his contributions to the field of deviance and juvenile delinquency. His seminal works, including "Becoming Deviant" and "Youth Crisis: Growing Up in the High-Risk Society," explore the complexities of youth behavior in high-risk environments. Matza's theories revolve around the concept of 'drift,' where individuals may oscillate between conformity and deviance, challenging traditional notions of fixed identities in social behavior.
