Résumé anglais Philippe Robert, Georges Kellens : New perspectives in the sociology of deviance. The analysis of eleven books published in the last decade ? although not an exhaustive review ? enables the authors to stress out the impact of stigma and interaction trends upon the recent orientation of the sociology of deviance and criminology. They show how the focus of interest has moved from action (the specifical differentiating characteristics of the deviant: physical constitution, personality or physical environment), to social reaction (only considered now as the explanation of his beeing different). Three trends are defined: a first one still largely influenced by a quasi- structuralism; another which attempts to synthetize risk attitudes; and a third one rather breaking up with the others. To conclude, they emphasize the contribution of the stigma and interaction trends and especially the need to operationalize them so as to avoid their fading into a mere criticism, sterile in the long run.
