Document Summary
Hard to study white collar crime, you cannot get to these people to learn about it, but you can walk onto the street and see homeless people, etc. Things that were considered deviant, are now considered social change (people who are considered deviant are the ones that push the boundaries to change) Learning to fear things that are actually fearful vs. fearing the things that we are told to fear (your body reacts for you) Everyone likes a deviant image once in a while. Learning about other people"s choices make our choices more clear. Get involved in deviance but not get your hands dirty (only learning about it) Your standpoint is made up of everything that you are: what is considered normal varies by culture. Prior to the 1960s, academics focused on outsiders". If you hold power in society, you are less likely to be affected by its rules.
