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.

What is acts are considered deviant?

Acts that are considered deviant vary across cultures and societies but generally include behaviors that go against established societal norms, values, and expectations. Examples of deviant acts may include criminal behavior, drug abuse, sexual harassment, and other actions that are seen as socially unacceptable. It's important to understand that perceptions of deviance can be subjective and may change over time.


Primary and secondary deviance?

Edwin Lemert developed the idea of primary and secondary deviation as a way to explain the process of labeling. Primary deviance is any general deviance before the deviant is labeled as such. Secondary deviance is any action that takes place after primary deviance as a reaction to the institutions. When an actor commits a crime (primary deviance), however mild, the institution will bring social penalties down on the actor. However, punishment does not necessarily stop crime, so the actor might commit the same primary deviance again, bringing even harsher reactions from the institutions. At this point, the actor will start to resent the institution, while the institution brings harsher and harsher repression. Eventually, the whole community will stigmatize the actor as a deviant and the actor will not be able to tolerate this, but will ultimately accept his or her role as a criminal, and will commit criminal acts that fit the role of a criminal. Primary And Secondary Deviation is what causes people to become harder criminals. Primary deviance is the time when the person is labeled deviant through confession or reporting. Secondary deviance is deviance before and after the primary deviance. Retrospective labeling happens when the deviant recognizes his acts as deviant prior to the primary deviance, while prospective labeling is when the deviant recognizes future acts as deviant. The steps to becoming a criminal are: # Primary deviation. # Social penalties. # Secondary deviation. # Stronger penalties. # Further deviation with resentment and hostility towards punishers. # Community stigmatizes the deviant as a criminal. Tolerance threshold passed. # Strengthening of deviant conduct because of stigmatizing penalties. # Acceptance as role of deviant or criminal actor.

Why are not all deviant acts considered crimes?

Which sociologist used the term differential association to describe the process by which exposure to attitudes favorable to criminal acts leads to violation of rules?

Sociologist Edwin Sutherland introduced the concept of differential association in criminology theory. He argued that individuals learn deviant behavior through their interactions with others who hold favorable attitudes toward criminal acts, leading to a higher likelihood of rule violation.


What term did Edwin Lemert use to refer to society's response to deviant behavior?

Edwin Lemert used the term "secondary deviance" to refer to society's response to deviant behavior, which involves the labeling and stigmatization of individuals who have engaged in deviant acts, leading to further involvement in deviance.

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.


What is the difference between a terrorist and a criminal?

A terrorist commits violent acts for political, religious, or ideological reasons to instill fear in a population and achieve their goals. A criminal commits unlawful acts for personal gain or other reasons, but not necessarily for political purposes. The key distinction is the underlying motivation and intent behind their actions.
