SOCI 2445 Chapter 3: Chapter 3
Document Summary
In an era of multi causal explanations we may be inadvertently ignoring an important dimension for better understating deviant behavior: deviant behavior texts through the years have routinely ignored this dimension with no mention of fun, pleasure, hedonism, or the like, in reference to the causal or contributory factors that influence deviant behavior, most theorists have continued to delve into the more serious publicly recognized as criminal behavior. This difference, however, may be tied to the evolution of stripping: the on the job, informal occupational socialization the women reported experiencing enabled them to achieve job competence, even in a deviant occupation, as social learning theories of deviance suggest, although most of us learn the norms and values of society, some of us also learn techniques for committing deviance and the specific motives, drives, rationalizations, and attitudes that allow us to neutralize our violation of normative codes.
