Document Summary
Soc 100 lecture 33 deviance & social control. Law & society: control theory: our connection to members of society leads us to systematically conform to society"s norms. Attachment: as long as there is attachment to one individual, it is enough to insulate a young individual from deviating against society norms. Commitment: individuals are committed to the members in society; an investment an individual does not want to lose. Example: students are committed to their education and do not want to risk losing it. Involvement: similar to commitment, involvement in a community helps individuals from deviating out of societal norms. Belief: individuals believe in the system and abide by the law. Example: most students do not cheat because they believe it is not right to cheat. It changes across time and place and audience: example: people 30 years ago did not know what road rage was because it didn"t exist. Defining deviance: deviance and social stigma.
