  12. What is Deviance? • Any behavior, belief, or condition that violates significant social norms in the society or group in which it occurs • Interestingly – one who is considered “deviant” by one category of people may be seen as “conformist” in another group

  13. Who Defines Deviance? • Common Sense Thinking • Inherent in certain kinds of behavior or people • Sociologists • Formal property of social situations and structures • Deviance is relative- An act becomes deviant when it is defined as such

  14. Variations in Deviance • Time to Time • Place to Place • Group to Group • Degrees of Seriousness

  15. “Deviance is not a property inherent in certain forms of behavior; it is a property conferred upon these forms by the audiences which directly or indirectly witness them. The critical variable in the study of deviance, then, is the social audience rather than the individual actor”.- Kai T. Erikson (1964)
