Chapter Eight: Deviance and Social Control
1 Chapter eight : Deviance and Social Control Chapter Summary Sociologists use the term Deviance to refer to any violation of rules and norms. From a sociological perspective, Deviance is relative. Definitions of what is deviant vary across societies and from one group to another within the same society. Howard S. Becker described the interpretation of Deviance as, ..not the act itself, but the reaction to the act that makes something deviant . This coincides with the symbolic interactionist view.
Most people resist being labeled deviant, but some revel in a deviant identity (e.g., motorcycle gangs who are proud of getting in trouble, laughing at death, and so on).
