  The Sociology of Deviance -...

  Deviance is not an inherent quality of an action or behavior but rather a label assigned by society based on cultural norms, values, and historical context. What is considered deviant in one society may be perfectly acceptable in another, highlighting the socially constructed nature of rule-breaking. This means that deviance is not a fixed concept but a fluid one, constantly evolving as societies change over time. 
  Norms, or the unwritten rules that govern behavior, play a central role in determining what is labeled as deviant. These norms vary across cultures, social groups, and historical periods, meaning that what is seen as unacceptable in one setting may be tolerated or even encouraged in another. For example, attitudes toward tattoos, same-sex relationships, and gender roles have shifted dramatically over time, illustrating how deviance is shaped by broader social forces rather than existing as an objective reality. 
  One of the key aspects of the social construction of deviance is the process of labeling. According to labeling theory, deviance is not just about breaking rules but also about how society reacts to those who violate norms. When a person is labeled as deviant, they may experience stigma, discrimination, or exclusion, reinforcing their deviant identity. This can lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy where individuals internalize their label and continue engaging in deviant behavior. For instance, a teenager who is repeatedly told they are a troublemaker may begin to see themselves that way and act accordingly.

  Double Agent Balloon - Dickie...

  Dickie Metcalfe was not your typical secret agent, but he was larger than life in more ways than one. Unlike many other agents who were part of the Double Cross System during the Second World War, he did not defect; nor was he blackmailed into becoming a spy. Instead, using his father's connection with Sir Vernon Kell, the first director of MI5, Metcalfe volunteered his services. 
   
   
   
  Recently cashiered from his infantry regiment, he had an ulterior motive—by supplying MI5 with tidbits of information about weapons and arms deals in his newfound profession as an arms dealer, he hoped they would be able to help him get his commission reinstated. Metcalfe became BALLOON, a sub-agent of double agent TRICYCLE's Yugoslav spy ring. 
   
   
   
  Concurrent with his spying activities, he collaborated with the coinventor of the Bren gun to develop a new submachine gun for British forces. After the war, he was also a celebrated motor racing driver and continued to compete until shortly before his death. His success as a double-cross agent in the eyes of both his masters—British and German—is examined in this book, using official documents as a primary source.

  Where Angels Fear to Tread: The...

  'I was filled with apprehension about crossing the front line, but I would have risked my life to save just one child. Ivan was giving me a chance to save them all…' 
  This is the extraordinary work of Sally Becker, a humanitarian aid worker who for over three decades has risked it all in order to help the children of war. 
  Where Angels Fear to Tread is a reminder that – with determination, unrelenting passion and drive – one person can change the lives of so many. 
  In May 1993, Sally Becker went to Bosnia to help the innocent victims of war. She started by delivering humanitarian aid to the region, and was soon hailed as the 'Angel of Mostar' for rescuing wounded children and their families from the besieged city. Sally continued her work throughout the conflict and is credited with saving many lives. 
  When President Milosevic ordered his troops into Kosovo, her missions continued, this time on foot across the mountains. While attempting to bring sick and wounded children and their families to safety, she was captured by Serb paramilitaries, but neither this nor being shot by masked gunmen in Northern Albania could make her abandon her task. 
  Bosnia was Sally's first mission and the beginning of her lifelong commitment to help rescue children caught up in some of the most horrific wars around the world, including missions to help children in Iraq, Ukraine and most recently Gaza. 
  Her account provides a rare and invaluable insight into the complexities of international aid work, the shocking reality of life on the front lines and the desperate race to save innocent children trapped in war zones. 
  This is her extraordinary story. 
  Sally Becker's autobiography, a compelling narrative of her life in the service of others, is set to be the latest bestseller in non-fiction. Her memoirs, steeped in tales of charity and social welfare, underscore the power of individual action amidst the often sluggish responses of government institutions.
