This document discusses several sociological theories of deviance. It explains that according to structural functionalism, deviance is normal and necessary for society as it serves functions like boundary maintenance, group solidarity, and tension reduction. It also discusses Durkheim's views that deviance helps maintain social order and equilibrium. The document contrasts functional versus dysfunctional deviance and distinguishes between manifest and latent functions of deviance.

Theories of Deviance (cont'd)
The document discusses different types of suicide and social currents, focusing on anomic suicide. It explains that anomic suicide occurs due to a breakdown in normative structure where rules and norms are weak, unclear, and indistinct, providing no limitations or guidance for individuals. This can produce rapid, uncontrolled, and unpredictable change that sweeps across society as it unleashes passions and removes boundaries, making behavior uncontrollable and leading to deviance. The document also briefly discusses other elements of social order like egoistic, altruistic, and fatalistic currents.
Deviance and social control
This document discusses deviance and social control. It defines deviance as variations from social norms and expectations. While some deviance is normal, too much or extreme deviations can disrupt social order. Deviance performs functions like defining norms but can also have dysfunctions. Society uses internal and external social controls like sanctions to encourage conformity. Theories of deviance include strain theory, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionist perspectives like differential association theory and labeling theory.
Theories of Deviance
The document discusses different types of deviance, including positive deviance like altruism and innovation. It also examines how societies react to deviance through shifting norms and labels. Finally, it notes that the determination of deviance is subjective and relative to cultures, times, and contexts. Societies alter their definitions of deviance to maintain it at an optimal level through social control mechanisms.
Sociology of Deviance
Deviance refers to violations of social norms, which are behavioral codes that guide actions and self-presentation. There are three broad categories of norms: folkways which are everyday customs; mores which are based on broad social morals; and laws which are codified social sanctions. Norms can be prescriptive telling us what to do, or proscriptive telling us not to do. Norms help control behavior, ensure society's needs are met, allow us to predict others' behavior, and contribute to social order. Norms are created through both the conflict model where powerful groups impose them and the consensus model where groups agree on norms. While crime and deviance overlap, some deviance is not criminal and some

Here are my responses to the questions about Peter:
1) Peter comes into contact with both informal and formal social control. His mother and visiting carer represent informal social control as they are close personal figures in his life. The bowling center represents formal social control as it is an organized institution.
2) Peter's mother likely applies negative informal sanctions when Peter tries to act independently without help. As his mother, she fulfills an informal social control role and would scold him or express disapproval to enforce proper behavior in her view.
3) At the bowling center, Peter's friends would represent informal social control. As fellow bowlers, they are peers rather than authorities and would apply positive informal sanctions like praise or encouragement to
Deviance and social control lecture notes
Deviance refers to any violation of social norms and rules. What is considered deviant varies across societies and groups within societies. While some individuals engage in deviant acts, others are labeled deviant due to factors like their race, birth defects, or disease. All groups use social control and sanctions to enforce norms, punishing deviants with negative sanctions and rewarding conformists with positive sanctions. Sociologists examine deviance using perspectives like symbolic interactionism, functionalism, and conflict theory.

It explains that anomic suicide occurs due to a breakdown in normative structure where rules and norms are weak, unclear, and indistinct, providing no limitations or guidance for individuals. This can produce rapid, uncontrolled, and unpredictable change that sweeps across society. It unleashes passions and behaviors that become uncontrollable without stable social boundaries and norms to contain the individual. Other elements of social order discussed include egoistic, altruistic, and fatalistic types. The document also reviews structural functionalism and symbolic interactionism approaches to deviance.

Deviance
This document discusses different sociological theories of deviance. It covers biological, psychological, structural-functional, labeling, strain, and social conflict perspectives on what causes deviance and how societies define and react to deviant behavior. Specifically, it examines Lombroso's early biological theory, containment theory, Durkheim's functional analysis of deviance, Lemert's concepts of primary and secondary deviance, Merton's strain theory, and conflict theorists' views that norms often protect the powerful. It also differentiates between formal and informal social control and categorizes different types of deviant behaviors.
Deviant Behavior
This document discusses several theories of deviance. It defines deviance as violating social norms and norms as rules that guide society. The structural strain theory explains deviance as resulting from social strains caused by an imbalance between cultural goals and means of achieving them. Labeling theory states that deviance is a social process where some label others as deviant. Differential association theory argues that the environment determines which norms people learn to violate through socializing agents like family and friends.
Cjus 4411
This document summarizes several control theories in criminology. Early control theories argued that weak social bonds, low social pressure, and lack of social controls cause misbehavior as people are pushed away from or pulled toward crime. Social bond theory argues humans have a natural tendency toward crime that is curbed by social bonds like attachment, commitment, involvement, and belief in moral norms. Social control theory says poor parental management leads to low self-control and higher rates of crime and delinquency. While control theories have been influential, they have also received some criticism and assessments of their limitations.
Ch7 Deviance and Social Control
The document discusses several key concepts related to deviance and social control, including:
- Deviance is behavior that departs from social norms, while norms are shared rules of conduct. Positive deviance over-conforms to norms while negative deviance under-conforms.
- Internal social control involves internalizing norms, while external social control uses outside pressure to enforce conformity. Social control mechanisms encourage conformity.
- Social sanctions reward or punish behavior to promote norm following, with positive sanctions encouraging conformity and negative sanctions discouraging unacceptable behavior.
- Strain theory posits that deviance is more likely when a gap exists between cultural goals and the ability to achieve them through legitimate means. This can lead to innovation, ritual
Social Deviance
Deviance is defined as behavior that violates social norms and causes disapproval or condemnation from others. It can suck people into deviant lifestyles from which it is difficult to escape due to social stigma. Deviance ranges from admired or odd behavior to more serious bad behavior and includes examples such as homosexuality, drug addiction, teenage pregnancy, prostitution, and mental illness. Understanding cultural diversity is important for nurses to effectively communicate with clients from different backgrounds.
Gender stereotypes
This document defines key terms like stereotype, gender, masculine and feminine. It then lists stereotypical masculine traits such as independent, aggressive, and competitive and stereotypical feminine traits such as emotional, passive, and graceful. The document provides bibliographic references to conclude.
O Brilll Dominant Behavior Notes
Dominant behavior is defined as actions intended to gain or maintain status or power over others. It can take the form of aggression but does not necessarily involve harm. Dominant behavior is commonly seen in the home, schools, workplaces, and while driving. In the home, it is often directed at children and can be a normal part of parenting when not associated with violence. At school, some dominance is developmentally appropriate for children, but bullying involves targeting weaker individuals. In workplaces, dominance is more accepted when aligned with job responsibilities, but interpersonal conflicts sometimes arise. Aggressive driving and road rage are increasingly common forms of dominance on the road that can escalate from traffic annoyances and stress. Further research is needed
Deviant
The document discusses theories of deviant behavior and means of social control. It outlines 9 theories of the causes of deviant behavior including social pathology, biological, psychological, social disorganization, labeling, anomie, value conflict, conflict, and cultural transmission theories. Theories propose causes such as mental illness, genetics, psychological impulses, breakdown of social norms, labeling by society, undefined or conflicting social norms, conflicting values between groups, unequal social structure, and transmission of deviant norms. Solutions proposed include education, rehabilitation, psychiatry, counseling, modifying social institutions, relabeling, equal opportunity, balancing power between groups, and role models. The document also discusses types of deviant behavior and formal and informal social
Gender Stereotypes and other Gender Biases
This document discusses gender stereotypes and biases. It notes that gender stereotypes are beliefs associated with males and females, and that prejudice and discrimination can arise from these stereotypes. Throughout history, women have often been invisible or portrayed negatively in many domains like philosophy, religion, mythology, and language. More recently, stereotypes associate women with traits like warmth and empathy (communion) while men are seen as more confident and ambitious (agency). However, in recent decades women have increased in perceived agency as well. The document also discusses how biology influences gender differences, noting factors like genetics, hormones, brain structure and activity, and processing differences between male and female brains.

Ch 7 Deviance and Social Control
The document discusses the sociological concept of deviance. It begins by defining deviance as any behavior, belief, or condition that violates significant social norms. It notes that deviance is a matter of social definition that can vary between groups and societies. The document then outlines several sociological theories of deviance, including functionalism, symbolic interactionism, and conflict theory. For each theory, it discusses how deviance is explained and what factors contribute to it occurring. The document focuses in depth on several specific topics, such as the costs and benefits of deviance, social control, learning deviance, and the treatment of deviance in industrial societies.
Deviance, social problem and
Deviance refers to behavior that violates social norms and expectations. There are several types of deviance such as drug abuse, crimes, and prostitution. Deviance is usually met with negative social sanctions though it can also drive social change by highlighting issues with existing norms. Societies use both informal social controls like social pressure and formal controls through laws and institutions to encourage conformity and control deviance. However, deviance is unavoidable and relative as norms vary between cultures and change over time.
Crime and deviance
The document defines crime as an action that violates the law and is punishable, while defining deviance as violating social norms. It notes deviance can be criminal or non-criminal, and some deviant acts have become normalized over time. Crime is always against the law. Deviance is controlled socially while crime is controlled through police and courts. Functionalists view deviance as inevitable and serving purposes like clarifying norms. The document discusses types of crimes and deviance in Mauritius like theft and arrest rates, and factors contributing to crime like poverty, drugs, and family issues. Health impacts of crime victimization are also outlined.
Theoretical perspectives on_families
The document discusses three major theoretical perspectives on families in sociology: functionalist, conflict/feminist, and symbolic interactionist. Functionalist perspectives view families as fulfilling important functions for society such as socialization, economic support, and status allocation. Conflict and feminist perspectives see families as sources of social inequality and sites of conflict between genders and classes. Symbolic interactionist perspectives examine family dynamics and the meanings and interpretations that family members assign to their roles and interactions.
Types of Deviance
1. Merton described 5 types of deviance: innovation, conformity, ritualism, retreatism, and rebellion. Innovation involves accepting societal goals like wealth but rejecting legitimate means, using crime instead. Ritualism rejects goals and overly adheres to means. Retreatism rejects both.
2. Crime is a form of deviance that violates legal norms. White-collar crimes are committed by high-status individuals through occupations. Victimless crimes only harm the individual. Corporate crimes are illegal actions by corporations.
3. Status crimes are illegal due to one's age, and civil disobedience breaks unjust laws to promote social change.
Family Systems Theory
Family systems theory views the family as an emotional unit where family members are interconnected and interdependent. Key aspects of family systems theory include non-summativity, circular causality, and homeostasis. The theory is used to understand how families adapt to stressors and aims to maintain equilibrium. While family systems theory provides a lens for examining family dynamics, it has limitations such as not resulting in testable hypotheses and focusing too much on patterns over change.
Deviant Behavior Sumugat
The document discusses deviant behavior and theories of deviance. It defines deviance as behavior that violates social norms according to societal definitions. There are varied perceptions of deviant behavior, from tolerance to disapproval and punishment. Theories of deviance include social pathology, biological, psychological, social disorganization, labeling theory, and conflict theory. The document also discusses types of deviant behavior like infractions of laws and norms, as well as means of individual adaptation and social control of deviance through informal and formal sanctions.
Gender Stratification
Gender stratification refers to the unequal distribution of wealth, power and privilege between men and women in society. Gender is defined by the cultural meanings attached to being male or female. Because society gives more power and resources to men, gender is an important dimension of social stratification. People learn their gender identities and roles through socialization by families, peers, schools and media, which reinforce cultural definitions of masculinity and femininity.
THE GENDER BREAD PERSON
This document discusses gender awareness and gender norms. It explains that societal perceptions of what is feminine and masculine can lead to gender divides or gaps. Gender awareness recognizes the effects of gender norms, roles, and relations, while being gender-blind ignores differences in opportunities between women and men and often reinforces discrimination. Gender is also defined as the socially constructed characteristics, norms, behaviors, roles and relationships associated with being a woman, man, girl or boy, which can vary between societies and change over time.
Chapter 7
The document discusses several key concepts related to deviance:
- It defines deviance as behavior that violates social norms and explains that what is seen as deviant varies by culture and society.
- It outlines several sociological theories of deviance including functionalism, social control theory, strain theory, and labeling theory.
- It discusses different types of sanctions used to enforce social norms and regulate behavior.
- It differentiates between internal and external means of social control and biological, psychological, and sociological explanations of deviance.
Meaning of Deviance and its sociology.pptx
The members of the society, at a particular time and place, create and impose rules, regulations, values, norms and laws and other forms of social control to maintain peace and order, to promote harmonious relations, and to preserve the stability of the existing social order. However, there are members who transgress the rules, violate the laws, defy the existing values, rebel against the established social order, and disregard the prevailing social standards and expectations. These people are tagged as deviants and their defiance or transgression is considered as deviant behaviour.
As pointed out by sociologists, deviance is any behaviour that the members of a social group define as violating the established social norms. In other words, there must be a social audience that will determine whether a behaviour is deviant or not. Since norms are relative from one society to another, it follows that what is considered deviant in one society may not be considered as such in another.
Durkheim And Anomie
The document discusses Emile Durkheim's concept of anomie and its causes and effects. It explains that Durkheim used anomie to describe a state of normlessness or feeling of alienation that can occur during periods of significant economic or social change when social norms are unclear. This lack of norms can cause individuals' behavior to become uncontrolled and deviant. The document also discusses how functionalist theorists like Durkheim and Merton viewed deviance as universal and sometimes functional for society in maintaining boundaries, solidarity, or reducing tension.

It begins by defining deviant behavior as behavior that violates social norms and noting that what is considered deviant can vary by culture and over time. It then provides examples of culturally approved deviants and views on deviance as pathological. The document outlines biological, psychological, and sociological explanations for deviant behavior. It also discusses specific forms of deviance like drug abuse, prostitution, and theories that explain deviance. It concludes with a section on social control and mechanisms to ensure conformity.
Morality
Morality refers to the differentiation between right and wrong intentions, decisions, and actions. Morality can derive from a particular philosophy, religion, or culture. It establishes standards of conduct and determines what behaviors are considered right or wrong, as well as what provides benefit or harm to groups rather than just individuals. Non-moral standards govern individual aspirations and desires and help define a person's place within their group through rules about things like etiquette, aesthetics, and games. Moral standards deal with issues that can seriously affect others, are not dependent on authority, are valued over self-interest, and can lead to feelings of guilt.

Social control and deviance
Social control consists of the methods used to regulate behavior in society. There are three main theoretical perspectives on social control - functionalists see it as necessary for survival, interactionists see it as a social process, and conflict theorists see it as benefiting powerful groups. There are three main types of social control - internalized norms, social structure, and formal/informal sanctions. Deviance is shaped by social forces like labeling, strain due to unequal access to goals, and cultural transmission of norms from one generation to the next. Conflict theory views social control as a mechanism for powerful classes to maintain their power and property over subordinate classes.
