This Sociology of Deviance course explores many different theories and approaches to explaining deviance and crime. The materials in weeks 1 through 3 introduce you to the approaches and theories that we discuss throughout the course. Evaluating how the theories relate to you is an important first step for expanding knowledge. Your task for this assignment is to write responses to each of the questions below, which are worth 25 points each for a total of 100 points possible. You must use the following: • At least three articles in the Adler reader from Part 1: Defining Deviance and Part 2: Theories of Deviance sections (choose from articles 1-11) • Each response’s length requirement is 150 words minimum • Cite your sources within the text. For this assignment, a separate reference page is not needed. To cite your sources, do not use direct quotes. Instead, paraphrase in your own words to explain the theories and format the in-text citation with the article author and page number(s) in the Adler text. For example, Labeling theory posits deviance is assigned by the reactions to a behavior, which means deviance is relative to the people who witness the act (Becker, p__). You can mention the same theory for multiple questions (maybe you find one most surprising and also disagree with it). But you must then discuss another theory that you also find surprising/disagree with and provide an example with your explanation so that your total is at least 3 articles. Question 1: Explain what deviance is socially constructed means. Discuss 2 types of positive deviance and 2 types of negative deviance which are socially constructed in the United States. Provide examples of each. Question 2: Which theory(ies) or approach(es) from part 1 or 2 is(are) most surprising to you for explaining deviant behavior? Why? Provide an example of deviance or crime to explain. Question 3: Which theory(ies) or approach(es) from part 1 or 2 is(are) do you disagree with or tend to not think is(are) most helpful for explaining deviant behavior? Why? Provide an example of deviance or crime to explain. Question 4: Which theory(ies) or approach(es) that you have read in part 1 or 2 do you agree with or makes the most sense to you for explaining deviant behavior? Why? Provide an example of deviance or crime to explain.
