CANNOT be answered with a yes or no. Too broad a question. Define "DEVIANT ACTS." "Deviant" to who? Morally deviant? Criminally deviant? Religiously deviant? etc . . . (????)
I can't speakl for the law of all "the World's" nations - but in the US a criminal act is defined by two elements. (1) A criminal act accompanied by (2) a criminal intent.
The word deviant means different, unique, or strange. Deviant also may be short for deviantart.com, a website which allows artists from all over the world to post their art (whether sketches, paintings, photographs, or digital art, etc.) and receive feedback from other users. There are also forums and a place to shop for art.
Because only the acts specified by the legislature are the ones included in the statute and enforced. There is broad disagreement among many people what constitutes a "deviant" act. What is 'deviant' in one persons eyes, is an accepted practice in another's.
All criminal acts have consequences attached to them.
Aberrant, devious, irregular, anomalous are all synonyms for deviant.
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.
No, homeowner insurance typically does not cover intentional criminal acts such as criminal mischief by the policyholder. The insurance policy is meant to provide coverage for accidental or unexpected events, not deliberate acts of vandalism or wrongdoing.
Criminal Law
Yes, in the US most criminal laws are statutory. That means they have been defined and are listed in the criminal code. In the early days many crimes were defined by the common law. Now it is more difficult to get out of a crime due to the definitions being clearer.
Not all deviant behavior is inherently bad; it often depends on the context and societal norms. Some deviant actions can challenge unjust systems and promote social change, while others may harm individuals or communities. Additionally, what is considered deviant can vary greatly across cultures and time periods. Therefore, the moral evaluation of deviant behavior requires careful consideration of its impact and intent.
Sketchfu, and Deviant Art
Deviant behavior means that they separate themselves from society's norms and develop their own way of living. so anorexia is deviant because all of society (most, anyway) says that we should eat and eat healthy.
