Deviance
I believe that conflict theory represents deviance the best. Conflict theory is defined as societies competition for scarce resources and how social groups use their power to take advantage of one another. Groups use power, conflict, competition, and exploitation to do what they want and define other less powerful groups. In Mario's story there were many acts o deviance, a few representing conflict theory included: the police brutality, the distrust of the attorney, and the unfairness of the witness interrogators. First, the movie had a few cases showing the strong acts of police brutality. When the shooting first happened witnesses pointed fingers at Mario, back then
