Minor transgressions of these norms can be described as informal deviance.

Deviance and Social Control
Social cohesion refers to the way people
form social bonds, relate to each other,
and get along on a day-to-day basis.

Deviance and Social Control
• Social control is the set of mechanisms that
create normative compliance in individuals.
• Normative compliance is the act of abiding by
society’s norms or simply following the rules of
group life. 11
![Page 12: Chapter 6 deviance and crime](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042521/557a338dd8b42a32248b4706/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Deviance and Social Control
• Punitive justice is focused on making the violator
suffer and thus defining the boundaries of
acceptable behavior.
• Rehabilitative justice examines the specific
circumstances of an individual transgressor and
attempts to find ways to rehabilitate him or her. 12
![Page 13: Chapter 6 deviance and crime](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042521/557a338dd8b42a32248b4706/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Deviance and Social Control
• Informal social sanctions:
– are unspoken rules and expectations about
people’s behavior.
– help maintain a base level of order and
cohesion in society and form a foundation
for formal social control.

Deviance and Social Control(Structural Functionalism)
Émile Durkheim theorized that social cohesion is
established either through:
mechanical solidarity — based on the sameness
of society’s parts or members (fraternity –
sorority)
organic solidarity — based on the
interdependence of specialized parts or members.

Deviance and Social ControlA Functionalist View
Robert Merton’s strain
theory argues that deviance
occurs when a society does
not give all its members equal
ability to achieve socially
acceptable goals.

Strain Theory
Conformists accept the goals of the society and the means of achieving those goals

Innovators accept the goals of the society, but they look for new, or innovative, ways of achieving those goals

Ritualists aren’t interested in the goals of the society, but they do accept the means of achieving those goals.

1. It is difficult to empirically test.
2. It works on the assumption that conformity is the norm and assumes a concensual society.
3. It doesn't explain all forms of criminal behavior.
4. It over-predicts criminality. does not explain hate-crime, violence etc

Symbolic Interactionist Theories of Deviance
• Symbolic interactionists take a micro
view of society, examining the beliefs and
assumptions people bring to their
everyday interactions to find the causes
or explanations for deviance.
24
![Page 25: Chapter 6 deviance and crime](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042521/557a338dd8b42a32248b4706/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Symbolic Interactionist Theories of Deviance
• Labeling theory
– People see how they are labeled and
accept the label as being “true.”
– People behave the way that they think
someone with their label should behave.
25
![Page 26: Chapter 6 deviance and crime](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042521/557a338dd8b42a32248b4706/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Symbolic Interactionist Theories of Deviance
• Primary deviance:
– the first act of rule breaking, which may result in the
rule breaker being labeled “deviant” and thus influence
how people think about and act toward him or her.
• Secondary deviance:
– refers to acts of rule breaking that occur after primary
deviance and as a result of a person’s new, deviant
label. 26

Symbolic Interactionist Theories of Deviance
• Stigma– negative social label that changes your
behavior toward a person; also changes that
person’s self-concept and social identity
– has serious consequences in terms of the
opportunities made available – or rather, not
made available – to people in a stigmatized
group27

Symbolic Interactionist Theories of Deviance
Broken window theory of deviance (Philip Zimbardo):explains
how social context and social cues impact the way individuals act
People who wouldn’t exhibit a certain behavior in one social
context might do so in another context where the behavior
seems more permissible. 29

People inspect an abandoned car in the South Bronx. Zimbardo placed this car in New York City and University in Palo Alto, California. The car near Stanford wentuntouched for days, but the car pictured above was in New Your City wasrelieved of its hubcaps and other parts almost immediately.

Crime
• It can be difficult to measure crime rates over
time for a variety of reasons, including:
1. changes in how crimes are defined.
2. fluctuations in whether people report crimes.
3. in the case of murders, improvements in
medical technology. CSI

Crime Reduction
Deterrence theory is a philosophy of
criminal justice based on the notion that
crime results from a rational calculation of
its costs and benefits.

the criminal justice system reverts back to criminal behavior.

Crime ReductionSince the 1970s, there has been a change from a more
rehabilitative sense of justice to a more punitive one in the United
States.
This is evidenced by historically high rates of incarceration.
