OWN SUMMARY OF DEVIANCE
EMILE DURKHEIM
CONFLIT THEORY
The status of a person affects his life into the society.
Because of this class status, it defines who will be the right person and who is wrong.
ROBERT MERTON
STRAIN THEORY
When societal norms, or socially accepted goals, place pressure on the individual to conform they force the individual to either work within the structure society has produced, or instead, become members of a deviant subculture in an attempt to achieve those goals.
When individuals are faced with a gap between what ought to be and what it is, that person will feel strained.
CLIFFORD SHAW
SOCIAL DISORGANIZATION THEORY
This theory talks about the people who do not unite in terms of norms like social norms which cause them to have a quarrel and commit crime.
Deviance in this sense as without unitedness of the people into the society in terms of peace.
HENRY MACKY
CULTURAL-DEVIANCE THEORY
This theory tends to understand how the influence of peer groups, human agency and social forces on behavior of a person.
If those persons who have a dominant society like his neighborhood he might be affected by it and also can do things as deviant.
KARL MARX
CLASS THEORY
The class was divided into two, the bourgeoisie (capitalist) and proletariat (working class) where they exist on what status they have.
Deviance in this term as the conflict between the capitalist and the working-class on how unequal it is, unequal in a sense of sharing goods and services and position into the society.
C. WRIGHT MILLS
POWER ELITE THEORY
The society is occupied by those persons who have a dominant institution like politics, economics, and military.
That person who has highest position will decide what is wrong and what is right, who is criminal and who is not which is sometimes felt by those persons who have little power into the society.
