Document Summary
If men define situations as real, they are real in their consequences: frank tannenbaum (1938): crime and community, dramatization of evil. Edwin lemert (1951): social pathology: primary deviation: rule breaking, secondary deviation: agreement with societal reactions. Stigma: degradation ceremonies such as court proceedings. Murderer" are applied, the stick with the individual, especially if the labeller is someone in power. Retrospective reading: reassesses past behaviour in light of deviant status. Labels: master status, basis of personal identity, self-fulfilling prophecy. Focuses on social interactions and reactions, not just individual pathology. Distinguishes between deviant acts and deviant careers. Law enforcement is based on behaviour, not prejudice. Crime is based on personal and situational factors, not self-image or labels. Ethnomethodology: an examination of methods people commonly use to sustain some kind of consensus of the world and to solve problems characterized by highly irrational features. Harold garfinkel: breaching experiments to understand what is really going on by.
