Vicarious liability can be the same as aiding and abetting an individual who is committing a crime. The concept of driving the getaway car when one person robs the bank is similar to vicarious liability. This attached assistance in carrying out the crime makes a person guilty of vicarious liability, even though they did not participate in the physical act of causing the crime.

How are crime and deviance related Do they represent the same actions?

Deviance generally just means "different from the norm" or "taking a different path" and whatever you are comparing it to is essential to what it means on a larger scale. So, if you are talking about people who deviate from the law, then they could be the same thing as criminals. However, if you are just talking about deviance from the norm, then people who are left-handed or people who are any kind of minority would be deviant, just because they are different, and that definitely isn't the same thing as criminality. Also, in that case, deviance would be different depending on where you were. In Japan, a blonde would be the deviant for instance.

How has the right to carry a gun affected the level of crime in the US?

Homicides involving firearms in the US are around triple the rate of the nearest rival. For comparison, homicide rates of any kind in the US are around double the rates of most other countries - thus the proportion of homicide involving a firearm in the US is a lot higher than comparable countries. While some rates of violent crime involving the weapons were higher, others were similar - this is not enough to indicate a direct link either way, but from the first part it is fairly obvious that more guns has lead to more people being killed by them.
