Document Summary

There"s children throwing snowballs, instead of throwing heads, they"re busy building toys and no one"s dead . Sociology of deviance & how it differs from law, biology, psychology and criminology. There are concrete norms that people go against. Social norms are external and given, therefore, they are objective. These are the norms that make the objective valid. Widespread consensus about ideas, behaviours, and characteristics, which are either proper and acceptable or improper and unacceptable. Large number of people agree that these are important norms: those who don"t are deviant. Set of shared beliefs, ideas and attitudes that operate as a unifying source in society: eg. we all agree the person who speaks without raising hand is deviant. Values, cultural norms and social structures which transcend the individual and are capable of exercising social constraint: social constraints are real, because of a value and belief that deviant behaviour is wrong. Society operates according to general laws just like the physical world.
