Theories of Crime and Deviance

Today in class, we learned about four theories of deviance. These include:

1.) Control Theory
2.) Structural Strain Theory
3.) Differential Association Theory
4.) Labeling Theory


It is important to remember that Control Theory and Structural Strain Theory deal more with social structure, whereas Differential Association Theory and Labeling Theory place more emphasis on culture and meaning.

    Out of curiosity, why hasn't there been shared notes for the last couple of days?

    I had the same problem! If you can't find them in the full documents list, go onto the class schedule for that day and they should be there!
