  1. Sociology Having learned about types of deviance, you will now complete a secondary deviant case study to show your understanding of the concepts from this unit. You will choose one secondary deviant and complete a PowerPoint or sway presentation. Each portion of your project must be fully developed. As a general rule this should require at least five sentences for each section. Each section will be located on a separate slide in the presentation.   Topic Slides = 45 total points; explained in section instructions Works Cited = 4 points (four entries required on final slide) Graphics = 5 points (10 images worth 1/2 point each) Title Slide = 2 points (title, name, class period) Total = 56 points Secondary Deviance Project

  2. Part 2: Background Introduce your deviant by providing biographical background information. Include any available information on their background, origins and experiences from before their deviant behavior became known. Especially pay attention to any red flags that may signal future problems. Red flags could include examples of how they were socialized as children or any early trouble they got into. DO NOT discuss their secondary deviant behavior (the one that made them famous) in this section. POINTS General Background: 3 Identify & Explain Red Flags: 3 Editing: 1

  3. Part 3: Deviance Describe their deviant behavior. It is not necessary to touch upon every gory detail, but you must provide a summary covering the types of crimes, basic methods, motivations and victimology. Be sure to cover the entire scope of their deviant behaviors—don’t just focus on one crime if they committed many. POINTS Complete Overview of Behaviors: 5 Editing: 1

  4. Part 4: Outcomes Explain the result of their deviant behavior as far as punishment. What formal and/or informal punishments did they receive? There could be different outcomes for different crimes, be sure to cover as many examples as possible. POINTS Formal Punishments: 3 Informal Punishments: 3 Editing: 1

  5. Part 5: Functionalism Identify the element of Strain Theory (consult your notes) that you feel best fits this person. Explain how this element is the best fit and support your answer with examples. POINTS Correct Explanation: 5 Supporting Examples: 3 Editing: 1

  6. Part 6: Symbolic Interactionism • Apply the Differential Association Theory to explain your deviant’s actions. Support your explanation with examples. • Explain how Labeling Theory can be used to explain your deviant’s actions. Support your explanation with examples. Both response choices must be based upon events that took place BEFORE their major deviant behavior began. POINTS Correct Application: 3 (x2) Example: 2 (x2) Editing: 1

  7. Part 7: Victim Discounting There are two ways of looking at this topic depending on your deviant and available information. Choose the one that best fits your topic. • (A) Why was your deviant able to get away with their activities for as long as they did? (B) Did elements of society place lesser value on the victims? • (A) How/why did the deviant choose their victims? (B) Did the deviant view them to be of different value for some reason? 3 POINTS (Part A) = 2 (Part B) = 2 Editing: 1
