Today in class we talked about interactionist and functionalist approached to deviance. In social learning theory people learn new behavior through overt reinforcement or punishment, or via observational learning of the social factors in their environment.
Conversely, functionalist theories argue crime an deviance result from the structural tensions and lack of moral regulation withing society. More simply, deviance is a by-product of economic inequalities and failure to achieve the 'American dream.'

ReplyDeleteWould you say that crime is always considered to be "deviant"? Persay someone commits a somewhat malicious crime on accident... would you still say they were doing out of deviance?
