One of the most famous studies conducted on deviance is a longitudinal study that assessed subjects who has watched large amounts of television by age eight.
Researchers compared the behavior of these individuals with that of a control group. Members of the control group has watched little TV at an early age.
Subjects that watched more TV displayed more violent behavior by age 19; several were incarcerated by the age of 30.
This study is the most conclusive evidence that exposure to TV violence at an early age can have long-term behavioral effects.

There are currently 4 justifications for Punishment of deviant acts:
Retribution
Deference
Rehabilitation
Societal Protection
Describe each of these punishiments and which do you believe is the best?

11. For Justifications for Punishment
Retribution
The oldest justification for punishment
Punishment is society’s revenge for a moral wrong
In principle, punishment should be equal in severity to the crime itself.
Deterrence
An early modern approach
Crime is considered social distribution, which society acts to control.
People are viewed as rational and self-interested; deterrence works because the pain of punishment outweighs the pleasure of crime.
Rehabilitation
A modern strategy linked to the development of social sciences.
Crime and other deviance are viewed as the result of social problems (poverty) or personal problems (mental illness).
Societal Protection
A modern approach easier to carry out than rehabilitation.
Even if society is unable or unwilling to rehabilitation offenders or reform social conditions, people are protected by the imprisonment or execution of the offender.

12. Warm-Up
Between the years of 1985 and the number of prison inmates under the age of 18 more than doubled.
More states are now allowing people under the age of 18 to be tried as adults, depending on the type of crime committed. The thinking behind this trend is that if states take away a youth’s minor status, and they are tried as adults, they will be more accountable for the crime committed.
