Deviance
Deviance refers to behavior, beliefs, or traits that depart from societal norms and expectations. It encompasses a wide
range of actions, from minor transgressions of social etiquette to serious criminal offenses.
Types of Deviance:
1. Formal Deviance: Actions that violate established laws and are subject to legal punishment. Examples include theft,
assault, and drug trafficking.
2. Informal Deviance:
Behavior that contravenes unwritten social norms but may not be illegal. This can include things like gossiping, dressing
unconventionally, or being excessively loud in public spaces.
Theories of Deviance:
1. Strain Theory: Developed by Robert Merton, this theory posits that deviance results from a disjunction between societal
goals and the means available to achieve them. When individuals cannot attain success through legitimate avenues, they
may turn to deviant behavior as an alternative.
2. Labeling Theory: This theory suggests that deviance is not inherent in the behavior itself but
arises from the societal reaction to that behavior. Once labeled as deviant, individuals may internalize this identity and
engage in further deviant actions.
3. Control Theory:Control theorists argue that deviance occurs when an individual's bonds to society
are weak or broken. These bonds can include attachment to conventional others, commitment to societal norms,
involvement in conventional activities, and belief in the moral validity of societal rules.
4. Conflict Theory:According to conflict theorists, deviance is a product of social inequality and the
exercise of power by dominant groups. Deviant behavior is seen as a response to structural conditions that limit
opportunities for some groups while privileging others.
Prominent Features of Deviance:
1. Social Construction:
Deviance is socially constructed and varies across cultures, societies, and historical periods. What is considered deviant in
one context may be acceptable in another.
2. Subjectivity:
Deviance is subjective and context-dependent. It is defined by societal norms and values, which can vary widely between
different groups and communities.
3. Stigmatization: Deviant individuals often face stigma and social exclusion due to their behavior.
This can lead to further marginalization and may contribute to cycles of deviance.
4. Reaction:
Deviance elicits reactions from society, ranging from informal social sanctions to formal legal consequences. These
reactions reflect societal norms, values, and power dynamics, and they shape how deviant behavior is perceived and
addressed.
