Resource summary
Theories of Deviance
Structural Functionism
The morals that individuals are taught constrain their behavior
Deviance is functional for society
Durkheim though it was normal/necessary
Strain Theory
Culture dictates success for all citizens but institutional access is limited to middle/upper strata
Conflict Theory
Social conflict arises from incompatible interests (class, politics)
Crime exists b/c of dominant class interests
Feminist Theory
Patriarchal system oppresses/discriminates women
Deviance is male centered and subjugates women
Culture Conflict Theory
Subculture norms/values meshed w/American culture conflicts
3 way of conflict: migration, territory takeover, or culture codes clash
Reaction Theory
Working-class males have highest difficulty succeeding due to subculture
Creates deviant behavior
Lower Class Culture Theory
Those that follow subculture norms become deviant to middle class norms
Differential Opportunity Theory
Criminal- arise from access to deviant subcultures
Conflict- attract those with violent attributes
Retreatist- attract those not inclined to violence but want to withdraw from society
Drift Theory
Cross into deviant subcultures occurs gradually from deviance to legitmacy
Applies to leaving deviance as well
Labeling Theory
Those caught during deviance are branded as a deviant
"A deviant is one whom the label has been applied; deviant behavior is behavior people so label"
Control Theory of Delinquency
Relationship between individual and society rather than interaction dynamics
Elements of the Bond
Attachment
Commitment
Involvement
Belief
Differential Association Theory
Deviant behavior is socially learned from friends/family
Criminal and non-criminal behavior express same needs/values
Become criminal b/c of criminal pattern contacts and isolation from noncriminal contacts
American Dream Cultural Axioms
Deflection of criticism of social structure onto oneself
Social power preservation by having lower class identify themselves with upper class
Less membership into society for those that fail to conform
Types of Individual Adaptation
Conformity- widely used due to cultural goals/institutionalized means
Innovation- access to cultural goals but no institutionalized means
Ritualism- rejects cultural goals and abides institutionalized norms
Retreatism- in the society but not of it (follow neither)
Rebellion- leads to a new/changed social structure (neither for nor against)
Constructionism
Redefine social problems as claims that various conditions constituted social problems
Focused of deviance, medicalization, macro level
Emphasizes role of interpretation, assigning meaning, understanding deviant behavior classification
