In the early 1970s many sociologists, particularly radical theorists of crime and deviance, had rejected the belief that sociological knowledge was objective or value-free. Their work had come to dominate the literature of criminology, deviance and social work. First published in 1976, Morris provided a readable and controversial reply.
