Ch 7- Deviance

This chapter talks about deviance, which is the recognized violation of social norms. In other words is when something breaks any social rules or expectations. When I hear deviance I think of a very mentally unstable person who hurts others. Example of people who may be considered deviances of society are those who commit crimes or are part of subcultures. And people who are part of subcultures are considered deviants because some may live on the edges of society, not following any norms or rules.
