Deviant Behavior
What is deviance? Who defines what is deviance? What is deviant behavior? Why do some people engage in deviant behavior? How does society respond to deviant behavior? What measures or actions does society use or take to regulate, prevent, and punish deviance? And what are the consequences of these efforts? Are the same behaviors or people considered deviant in all historical errors and in all social contexts?

Deviance: Commonly refers to violations of social norms (including legal norms) but many sociologists reject this behavioral or normative definition of deviance and see deviance instead as simply a label. Deviance in this view is that which we react to, through social control responses, as deviance.
Deviant behavior usually evokes formal and informal punishment, restrictions, or other controls of society. These formal and informal controls constrain most people to conform to social norms. Despite the social sanctioning and controlling, however, we sometimes observe deviant behavior around us. Then, why do some people engage in such deviant behavior even if social punishments are expected? Sociologists have attempted to explain it in various aspects.

Deviant Behavior - Abstracts
Adolescent Social Bond, Self-Control and Deviant Behavior in China -
Gabe T. Wang,
Hengrui Qiao, Shaowai Hong, and Jie Zhang
Abstract: The objective was to determine how adolescent social bond and self-control
affect substance use and deviant behavior. Adolescent educational commitment is negatively
and strongly related to their deviant behaviors. However, adolescent impulsivity is not
related to either substance use or deviant behavior, and their persistency is positively
instead of negatively related to their substance use.
Discipline and Deviant Behavior in Our Youth - Ron Bell
Abstract: The number of young people involved in deviant or criminal behavior has not only
tripled, but the age of those involved has gotten lower.
Routine Activities in Social Context: A Closer Look at the role of
Opportunities in Deviant Behavior
Jon Gunnar Bernburg, University at Albany
ABSTRACT: The routine activities approach to deviant behavior fail to account for the
microsocial context of situational motivation and opportunity. This failure, in turn,
leads researchers to misspecify the effects of the patterning of routine actitivites on
deviant behavior.
A Deductive Theory of Deviance
Chris Bader, Department of Sociology, University of Washington
The current research uses the general assumptions and propositions from the
Stark-Bainbridge theory as the basis for an integrated, deductive theory of deviant
behavior. I am able to derive their stake in conformity and predict the circumstances
under which individuals will engage in deviant behavior.
ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN DRUG USE and DEVIANT BEHAVIOUR in TEENAGERS.

An Economic Theory of Deviance
Jeong-Yoo Kim, Gang Lee
Abstract: We develop a model of deviance by incorporating the labeling effect into
rational choice theory. In our model, we provide an explanation of the process through
which a deviant is being stigmatized and explore theoretically the relationship between
the experience of having deviated and the incentive of deviation.
Adolescent Children of Narcotic Addicts: Deviant Behaviors and Their Correlates
David N. Nurco, D.S.W.
Abstract: This study examines the self reported behaviors of 285 male and female
adolescent children of narcotic addicts participating in methadone maintenance programs.
The findings indicated that the deviant behaviors of the adolescent children of addicts
are strongly related to their perception of the home atmosphere, their association with
deviant peers, and to numerous psychological factors including hostility, depression,
semantic concerns, and decreased energy and interest.

effect of negative self-feelings on later deviant behavior would be observed only for
youth who are not characterized by a deviant identity.

While the panel design offers many advantages to social scientists, especially those
studying deviant behavior, a major source of potential bias and error of this design is
the loss of respondents over time.
