They argue no behaviours are instrinsically deviant. Instead deviant actions are simply those that are defined as deviant within a particular setting or culture.
An act only becomes deviant when other label it as such . Whether or not the label is applied will depend upon how the act is interpreted. This depends on who commits the act and where it was committed.
Becker suggested that the process by which people take on an identity given to them by others could be regarded as a 'deviant career'. This process is ongoing as people in the criminal sphere gradually attain status.
Eventually an individual accepts the label as their identity or master status, overruling all other roles that they might posses. The final acceptance of the label and the adjustment of behaviour will conform to others that they were right. At this stage the individual's self-concept has been affected.
Just because someone breaks a rule, it does not necessarily mean that others will define it as deviant. Someone has to enforce the rules, or at least draw attention to them (Moral Entrepreneurs)- These people usually have an invested interest in the issue.]]> 2017-06-19 09:21:42 UTC https://padlet.com/olivia_flavell99/gjn4whzk0/wish/176835854 olivia_flavell99 https://padlet.com/olivia_flavell99/gjn4whzk0/wish/176837438 The consequence of police targeting served to widen the differences between the hippies and conventional society. Drug taking then became a symbol of their differences in society and the individuals that were labelled outsiders started to view themselves as different from non-drug takers which made it difficult to re-enter wider society]]> 2017-06-19 09:36:22 UTC https://padlet.com/olivia_flavell99/gjn4whzk0/wish/176837438 olivia_flavell99 https://padlet.com/olivia_flavell99/gjn4whzk0/wish/176837709 Argues we build our identity primarily as a result of how others act and respond towards us. ]]> 2017-06-19 09:38:50 UTC https://padlet.com/olivia_flavell99/gjn4whzk0/wish/176837709 olivia_flavell99 https://padlet.com/olivia_flavell99/gjn4whzk0/wish/176838247 Primary Deviance refers to deviant acts which have not been pubically labelled. Usually this has little effect on our identity and status in society.
Secondary Deviance refers to acts which have been pubically labelled as deviant.]]> 2017-06-19 09:44:17 UTC https://padlet.com/olivia_flavell99/gjn4whzk0/wish/176838247 olivia_flavell99 https://padlet.com/olivia_flavell99/gjn4whzk0/wish/176838497 Argued that police officers' decisions to arrest are influenced by their stereotypical views of offenders. Police officers use typifications of what a typical deviant is like. He found probation officeres reincfored this bias. They held the common ideas that juvenile delinquency was caused by broken homes, poverty and inadequate socialisation]]> 2017-06-19 09:47:15 UTC https://padlet.com/olivia_flavell99/gjn4whzk0/wish/176838497 olivia_flavell99 https://padlet.com/olivia_flavell99/gjn4whzk0/wish/176838863 Goffman's work indicates that what looks 'insane' to an outside observer is not irrational when seen in the context of the hospital. Asylums involve forms of discipline that make it impossible for inmates to behave like people. When admitted, patients undergo a mortification of the self, as a consequence they developed patterns of behaviour which seem bizzare to the outsider, but were understandable attempts to cope with the demands of their environment]]> 2017-06-19 09:50:30 UTC https://padlet.com/olivia_flavell99/gjn4whzk0/wish/176838863 olivia_flavell99 https://padlet.com/olivia_flavell99/gjn4whzk0/wish/176839651 Braithwaite identifies a more positive role for the labelling process and distinguishes  between two types of shaming:
1. Disnitergratvie shaming, where both the crime and criminal are treated as bad
2. Reintegrative shaming, where the act is labelled as bad, but not the individuals]]> 2017-06-19 09:59:17 UTC https://padlet.com/olivia_flavell99/gjn4whzk0/wish/176839651 olivia_flavell99 https://padlet.com/olivia_flavell99/gjn4whzk0/wish/176840098 2017-06-19 10:04:07 UTC https://padlet.com/olivia_flavell99/gjn4whzk0/wish/176840098
