7. LABELING THEORY I think that snoop dogg’s criminal deviance is due to the labeling theory. Society has an expectation of snoop dogg and his music. The only people who label snoop dogg is police and higher authority. Other young people like his music and don’t think anything different of most of snoop doggs crimes like possession charges. This is most likely primary deviance because snoop dogg still does these crimes even though it is illegal.
