Document Summary
Untouched issues or the bigger picture social conditions. Deviant behaviours: behaviours that violate the social norms: not all deviation is a crime, stepping outside of what society has deemed to be the norm, measured statistically. If one person doesn"t do anything, other people will not do anything either. Lecture ii: deviance depends on the generation"s view and their beliefs, different generation may think something else, majority decides. Three interacting variables: evaluation of social harm, very harmful, somewhat harmful, not very harmful, agreement about the norm, strong agreement/disagreement, confusion or apathy, severity of societal response, very severe, moderate or mild. People interpret norms differently based on experience, culture . Consensus crime: generally agreed to be a serious crime by most members of the society. Social deviations: deviating from social norms but not a crime. Social diversions: more minor and not a crime.
