Definition of Deviance
The Canada social science dictionary [1] provides the following meaning of Deviance: Commonly refers to violations of social norms (including legal norms) but many sociologists reject this behavioral or normative definition of deviance and see deviance instead as simply a label. Deviance in this view is that which we react to, through social control responses, as deviance. See: LABELING THEORY in this legal dictionary and in the world encyclopedia of law.
