Document Summary

Required textbook: deviance and social control, 4th edition. Much of the research on deviation is based on how we can change youth from deviating. Many of the approaches deal with gang related issues. We still use historical ways to determine whether someone is trust worthy or not. We use physiological attributes, stereotypes on facial and body attributes. Vast proportion of the us population are incarcerated due to drug usage. Prisons are an indicator of the amount of deviances that is out in the world. They are attempting to reduce the prison population, however by doing that they would have to eliminate certain laws, for example legalization of marijuana. No one likes to stand out, feels like its humiliating, therefore we like to conform. Stigma is a negative label, describing someone in a negative way and it is hard to remove that label. This person absorbs this label and this identity, that others give us.
