1. Judgements of Deviance
Behavior That Violates Significant Social Norms

2. Deviance
Deviance is a straying from established social norms. A person who chooses not to conform to social norms but actually lives outside of those norms (deviates from those norms) is labeled a deviant. (Bartle, 2007) Therefore a deviant is not necessarily someone who is evil or even wrong, he/she simply chooses not to conform to societal standards of right and wrong. It is possible that the deviant is "right" and society is "wrong".
