labeling theory
deviance is a status
might not be related to the actual side we are fulfilling label
reaction is the key
nothing inherently deviant
acts are judged depending in the context and response
power impacts status of the label
power to reject or pass along label
how labeling theory works on the individual
primary deviance
individual, we may act up once and get caught
secondary deviance
others label us, we decide to live up to their expectations
crime is not about what you do
this is about how others see it
group labeling theory
once the group has labeled an individual as deviant then they are the definition of the other
outcast
left out
isolated
only to be taken in by others who share the label
argues that no behavior is wrong until someone else says it is
nothing deviant until the group labels it deviant
