Seems to work best where newcomers want be resocialized: most successful when the institution does not tear down newcomer but build him or her up. Military camps tend to be more successful then prisons for they identify pride. Norms vary across societies, therefore what is considered to be deviant varies across societies: it is impossible to to nd any speci c act that is regarded as deviant in every culture. Norms change over time even within a particular culture, therefore what is considered deviant at one time may be considered normative at another time.
