Theories of Deviance Social-Strain Typology – Conformity, Innovation, Ritualism, Retreatism, Rebellion – Social strain theory explains a person’s motivations or adherence to cultural goals and a person’s belief in how to attain those goals.

Theories of Deviance Structural-Functionalism – Says that deviance helps distinguish what is deviant and what is not (moral boundaries) – Deviance promotes social unity – Deviance can be a means for society to change – Example: Woman’s rights movement

Theories of Deviance Labeling Theory – Labels are given to individuals (criminal, goth, loner, punk) – The person adopts the label by exhibiting the behaviors, actions, and attitudes associated with the label – They are again labeled as part of their subculture

Theories of Deviance Differential Association – When non-criminals spend time with criminals and there is not a rejection of crime or any seen punishment for deviant acts, the person becomes a criminal – If they are not taught that there are consequences, the natural choice is to learn from their surroundings.
