Prostitution? Deviant behavior?
Professor used students to role play-she should have hired the real thing. lol. Of course they wouldn't be as deviant as the role players.
BOULDER, Colo. (CBS4) – The University of Colorado acknowledged on Monday that a tenured sociology professor had been suspended — but not dismissed — from teaching her popular course on deviant behavior following a lecture on prostitution.
“In this course I want to introduce you to the central sociological concepts of deviance, social order, social power, identity construction, and identity management,” reads the course syllabus, which typically enrolls about 500 students. “We will use the topic of deviance to see how groups of people have the power to shape social definitions and apply them onto others.” HUH?

Excuse my inner geek.
Prostitution is definitely deviant behavior since deviant behavior is the type of actions that go against social norms - IE it is not normal / seen in day to day life to be open and forthcoming about participating in prostitution. The reason we hide this or keep to ourselves is because it is NOT a social norm, and we will be judged by it. Therefore making it a deviant behavior to those on that unaccepting side of society. I'm glad the prof wasn't dismissed over a lecture of prostitution... I think it is a good topic to show the challenges of deviant behavior in the society and see how young people view the profession.
I don't see how she is in any trouble since the kids seem like wiling participants and no sexual activity actually occurred. Strange the way they do things these days...
