  1. Deviance and Social Control Tyler Ruby and Chris Coup

  2. Thesis • To analyze and interpret deviance and social Control and how it has affected our society in recent years.

  3. The Relativity of Deviance • Refers to Any Action or Behavior That Differ from Cultural Norms Including Formally Enacted Rules. • Examples Include: Intelligence, Athlete, Ethnicity, Crime, and Fashion.

  4. Who Defines Deviance • Every society decides what is deviance and what is not. • Functionalism: Each group enforces its norms among the members

  5. Conflict Theory • Each group is dominated by a group of elite people. • Basic purpose is to maintain that power. • Society is groups that are controlled uneasily by this group of people

  6. Control Theory • Inner and Outer controls help determine crime • Ex: Conscious, values, morals, integrity, police, family, and friends • These form a person’s self-control • Children who lack this are more likely to become criminals.

  7. Labeling Theory • Meanings people derive from labels, symbols, and reactions. • Certain behaviors aren’t deviant unless society claims them to be deviant. • Powerful individuals impose the more significant labels

  8. Differential Association • A learned phenomenon • People learned to be criminals by being associated with areas of high criminal activity • Crime is matter of the ordinary

  9. Anomie Theory • Arises when social norms conflict or don’t exist • Kept from reaching a certain goal • “Make a Point”

  10. Sociological Explanation • Looking for answers within individuals • Something in their makeup forces them to become a deviant • Environmental factors encourage deviance

  11. Biological Explanation • Focuses on inborn tendencies • 1.) Intelligence- Usually low intelligence leads to crime • 2.) The XYY theory- The extra Y chromosome leads to crime • 3.) Body Type- the more bulk you are the more likely you are to commit a crime.

  12. Psychological Explanation • Abnormalities within the individual • Personality disorders • Bad experiences

  13. Functionalist Perspective • Deviance clarifies moral boundaries and affirms norms • Deviance promotes social unity • Deviance promotes social change

  14. 4 types of Deviance • Innovators: people who accept the goals of society (embezzlers and robbers) • Ritualism: Cling to conventional goals of conduct • Retreatism: Reject both cultural goals and institutionalized means of achieving them • Rebellion: Convinced that their society is corrupt

  15. Conflict Perspective • Power and Social inequality is the primary characteristic of a society • Those who sell labor, and those who buy labor • Marginal Working Class: People with few skills • Most likely to commit street crimes

  16. Reactions to Deviance • Sanctions: Negative and Positive • -Most negative are informal • -Gossip, Glares Degradation Ceremonies: Designed to strip the individual of his or her identity in the group. Imprisonment

  17. Capital Punishment • “The death penalty” • Up to the state whether to employ capital punishment • Financial costs tend to be higher • Blatant deterrent of crime • Typically supported by most religions

  18. Medicalization of Deviance • Deviance such as crime is considered a mental illness • Rape, murder, and robbery are seen as internal disorders • Usually depends on peoples experience in life, not mental illnesses

  19. Interview • How do you feel deviance is brought about in society? • - He really thinks that deviance is encouraged by the area that they live in. Their social environment gives them opportunities to commit deviance. Do you think that we do enough as a society to control deviance? - He thinks that we try to do the most we can. He hopes that we would use the death penalty a little more, but we need to make sure we are putting people in jail for credible crimes Have you ever been guilty of giving an informal reaction to someone violating a social norm? - Yes, he admits to laughing at people who just look absolutely ridiculous in public. I admit that I often laugh aloud with him.
