Document Summary
Structure of the deviant act (adler intro part 7 pg. Deviant associations involve the social organizations of the deviants as people, it depicts the types of relationships they have with other deviants. Deviant acts focus on the particular instance of deviance, not the relationships surrounding them. We look at the nature of transaction: its length, its goals, its stability, the degree of cooperation or con ict involved, the number of parties involves, and the way the participants interact or do not interact with one another. Deviant acts involves one or more people aiming to accomplish a particular deviant goal. Deviant acts fall along a continuum of sophistication and organization. Can hang around and participate in subcultures as long as they accomplish their deviant acts alone. The core relationship is one of hostility, with one person getting a favourable outcome. E. g. blackmail, kidnapping, theft, fraud, trespassing, assault.
