4. Analytic and empirical approaches to the study of morality
1. Talcott Parsons, E. A. Shils, et al. Towards a General Theory of Action (New York: Harper and Row, 1962).
2. The term "own" here is a bit evasive, and is tapped at one level in common-sense terms. However, to be more precise, it should be said that by "own beliefs" it is meant here those sets of belief that the individual subscribes to which are invariant to his movement back and forth from different social groups and systems and which are often contrary to the social system of immediate context. It seems that the surest empirical way for the sociologists to deal with "own" in this sense is by treating the negative case. There are some problems here that can shift over into the ontological realm with the slightest push, but this distinction can suffice for the present usage.

3. See Alfred Schutz, Collected Papers I, The Problem of Social Reality (The Hague, Netherlands: Martinus Nijhoff, 1962); Harold Garfinkel, "Some Conceptions of and Experiments with 'Trust' as a Condition of Stable Concerted Action," in 0.

See also his "Studies of the Routine Grounds of Everyday Activities," Social Problems, II (Winter, 1964), 225-5o. Another exception is Howard S. Becker's Outsiders: Studies in the Sociology of Deviance (New York: The Free Press, 1964), pp. 189-224.
4. Sociology asks the same question in reverse requesting an explanation of deviance in the terms of psychological detarminism: Why are the lower classes and ethnic groups so disproportionately represented in deviance and crime? Is it that 'those kinds of psychological problems' don't exist among other groups—or that something quite social is operating as a powerful force to screen them?

15. No reference is here intended to Lindesmith's quite empirically observable proposition about prior knowledge and addiction, discussed in Chapter 3.
16. The data from the California Rehabilitation Centre reveal a case of an apprehended addict who claimed only to be in attendance at his first marijuana party. See Chapters 6 and 7.
17. This is not simply to say that if society ignores a certain kind of deviance, there will be no more of that deviance. That is simply tautological truth, which says nothing of consequence about the nature and process of the relationship between the normals and the deviants. I am concerned here with the positive activities in which a society engages that exacerbate deviance and block a return to normality. Cf. Kai T. Erikson, "Notes on the Sociology of Deviance," in Howard S. Becker, ed., The Other Side: Perspectives on Deviance (New York: The Free Press, 1964), pp. 9-20.

7. The moral implications of psychic maladjustment in the deviant
1. 0. Temkin, The Falling Sickness (Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins Press, 1945).
2. This is not to say that such an assessment of the addict's psychic disorder is necessarily accurate. That can be determined only empirically by looking at specific individual addicts, and not by lumping a diverse category together and asserting psychic imbalance by the definition of narcotic use.
3. J. K. Galbraith, The Affluent Society (Harmondsworth, Middlesex, England: Penguin Books, Ltd., 5962). The second chapter of Galbraith's book deals with the concept of the "conventional wisdom." My usage of the term here can be read both for its common-sense terms and in the more precise way Galbraith uses it.

8. Perspectives on the addicts' world view
1. See Chapter 3.
2. It is only "occasionally" that the addict regards himself as superior to the alcoholic. The former is continually reminded of the legal and illegal aspects of their respective behavior.
3. The CRC addicts strongly believed that they were not so dramatically affected by the drug that they could not perform these tasks quite well.
4. The working ideology of the rehabilitation center is referred to here, namely, that the way out is through revealed self-knowledge that the fault lies within the individual.
5. In Chapter I, see pp. 21-22.

7. Less than zo per cent of the inmates of CRC retained a private attorney during the legal proceedings that led to their commitment.

23. One can anticipate the objection that the analog is inappropriate because the slaves were slaves against their will, while addicts voluntarily become addicted. However, this analogy concerns the condition of the slave and the addict, and the escape from that condition, not the circumstances leading to the condition. (In any case, the reasoning that the addict is mentally different because he began using narcotics is tautological.)
