  • promotes solidarit

  • Extreme deviance does make us consider “normal” behavior on the personal and larger social level.

      Think about the relationship of these two ideas: common (so mean) and normal (so deviant).
  • actor violates group norms but complies with the law, it is deviance.
  • how can something be deviant and normal at the same time?”
  • We rarely have total agreement on what’s normal
  • ethnocentrism tends to burn cross-cultural bridges
  • across time; across cultures, and from group to group.
  • shifting values.
  • Deviance varies between cultures because values vary between cultures.
  • ontributed to higher or lower levels of trust over time.
  • The point of this story is that in most social groups a beat down would be considered deviant. In a gang it’s very much normal. Yet, in this situation, not beating him down was deviant within his gang, yet a wise choice.
  • Absolutist Perspective claims that deviance resides in the very nature of an act and is wrong at all times and in all places.
  • Normative Perspective claims that deviance is only a violation of a specific group's or society's rules at a specific point in time
  • Reactive Perspective claims that behavior does not become deviant unless it is disapproved of by those in authority (laws

      Do you agree with this definition?  Can you see what the consequences of this might be?

      yes. and the consequences might be that since you always excpect the excpected you will never excpect the unexcpected. 
  • Look at the diagram below.
  • Is a mean of 80 good or desirable?
    • Daryl Bambic
      Daryl Bambic on 04 Dec 13
       
      Think of 80, or the mean, as the norm.  When you think of it this way, is it desirable?
  • That depends on what these scores represent.
  • Values also vary between groups
  • An absolutists would probably fall among the 1 in 4 who feel that abortion is always wrong, because it is an unacceptable act. A normative individual would consider the circumstances (rape, incest, diagnoses, or health of mother) while a reactive would consider the legality of abortion.
  • In every society when deviance is considered it is most often controlled.
  • Control is easier if attachments, commitment, involvement, and beliefs are stronger.
    • Daryl Bambic
      Daryl Bambic on 04 Dec 13
       
      The absence of this is called 'anomie' and signals the breakdown of a society. Sociologists would call this the loss of social cohesion.

      Think of these four factors that favor control of deviance in terms of your school.  How does each one of these manifest itself in school life?  Are they effective in reducing deviant behaviour?
  • Negative Sanctions are punishments or negative reactions toward deviance. Positive Sanctions are rewards for conforming behavior

  • The reaction to this, where there was a reaction at all, was to tut over the insularity of our teenagers

      olivia amiel on 06 Oct 10
       
      People are insulted that teenagers are not as globally aware of their surroundings as they should be and that is why Mira and I chose to do this project. We feel it is important for teenagers to be more aware.
  • The finding seemed to be reinforced by another survey, which showed that a third of British respondents believed that Mount Everest was in Europe. This is not the kind of thing we're meant to be bad at.

      This is an example of an answer that we could get from teenagers to one of our questions on our quiz for our project. Although this talks only about British responders, it can have the same result for Canadians or anyone else.

  • psychopathy and sociopathy are recognized as problematic forms of deviance because of prevalent social anxieties about serial killers as types of criminal who “live next door” or blend in.
  • we do not know our neighbours well
  • deviance is a violation of established contextual, cultural, or social norms, whether folkways, mores, or codified law
  • Folkways
  • Mores
  • laws are norms that are specified in explicit codes and enforced by government bodies
  • rime is therefore an act of deviance that breaks not only a norm, but a law. Deviance can be as minor as picking one’s nose in public or as major as committing murder.
  • Firstly, deviance is defined by its social context. To understand why some acts are deviant and some are not, it is necessary to understand what the context is, what the existing rules are, and how these rules came to be established
  • Whether an act is deviant or not depends on society’s definition of that act
  • deviance is not an intrinsic (biological or psychological) attribute of individuals, nor of the acts themselves, but a product of social processes.
  • moral entrepreneurs
  • individuals’ deviant status is ascribed to them through social processes
  • even when these beliefs about kinds of persons are products of objective scientific classification, the institutional context of science and expert knowledge is not independent of societal norms, beliefs, and practices
  • Crime and deviance are social constructs that vary according to the definitions of crime, the forms and effectiveness of policing, the social characteristics of criminals, and the relations of power that structure society

  • organized action intended to change people’s behaviour
  • maintain social order,

  • disciplinary social control 
  • Foucault argues that the ideal of discipline as a means of social control is to render individuals docile.
  • The chief components of disciplinary social control in modern institutions like the prison and the school are surveillance, normalization, and examination

  • studies have found that children from disadvantaged communities who attend preschool programs that teach basic social skills are significantly less likely to engage in criminal activity

  • social diversion
  • The second sociological insight
  • ndividuals are not born deviant, but become deviant through their interaction with reference groups, institutions, and authorities
  • t is not simply a matter of the events that lead authorities to define an activity or category of persons deviant, but of the processes by which individuals come to recognize themselves as deviant.
  • Once a category of deviance has been established and applied to a person, that person begins to define himself or herself in terms of this category and behave accordingly
  • The major issue is not that labels are arbitrary or that it is possible not to use labels at all, but that the choice of label has consequences.
  • Government refers to the strategies by which one seeks to direct or guide the conduct of another or others.
  • differential association theory, stating that individuals learn deviant behaviour from those close to them who provide models of and opportunities for deviance.
  • White-collar or corporate crime
  • sociologist C. Wright Mills described the existence of what he dubbed the power elite, a small group of wealthy and influential people at the top of society who hold the power and resources.
  • their decisions affect everyone in society
  • The goal of the amendments was to emphasize that sexual assault is an act of violence, not a sexual act
  • secondary victimization
  • Women who are regarded as criminally deviant are often seen as being  doubly deviant. They have broken the laws but they have also broken gender norms about appropriate female behaviour, whereas men’s criminal behaviour is seen as consistent with their aggressive, self-assertive character
  • medicalize
  • n part the gender difference revolves around patriarchal attitudes toward women and the disregard for matters considered to be of a private or domestic nature

  • Interestingly women and men report similar rates of spousal violence
  • more a result of differential socialization processes.
  • Labelling Theory
  • Labelling theory examines the ascribing of a deviant behaviour to another person by members of society.
  • not so much by the behaviours themselves or the people who commit them, but by the reactions of others to these behaviours.
  • Secondary deviance can be so strong that it bestows a master status on an individual
  • Primary deviance is a violation of norms that does not result in any long-term effects on the individual’s self-image or interactions with others
  • Secondary deviance occurs when a person’s self-concept and behaviour begin to change after his or her actions are labelled as deviant by members of society.
  • The criminal justice system is ironically one of the primary agencies of socialization into the criminal “career path.”
