The author of the textbook sees both societal deviance (deviance that goes against social norms and values) and situational deviance (deviance that occurs in a particular situation or context) as sociologically relevant. The book discusses various forms of deviant behavior, including those that are seen as deviant in certain societies or situations, such as drug use or gambling, as well as behaviors that are universally seen as deviant, such as murder or rape. Therefore, both types of deviance are considered to be important and relevant to the study of sociology.
