paper, the focus will be on the social conflict theory which tends to shares some baseline from the work of the sociological father Durkheim

standards. It is the intentional disregard for the conventional way of association and the link between deviance and crime may be high based
on what theory one chooses to explicitly follow. Stated Opinion on Durkheim Durkheim's perception on deviance asserts that it is a normal
part of society and therefore should be regarded as that customary way of life. In this regard, one can only see it usual when it is applicable in
defining moral virtues in society. For instance, a man cannot be said to be a thief if there are no other good behaviors that oppose stealing. Also,
