Deviance & Social Control Unit 7-Sociology

This Unit is about people (and groups of them) acting in ways that violate social norms: we call this Deviance. Sometimes the violation is criminal, like stealing, sometimes just being it's rude, other times it's just being strange or different . It's also about  Social Control, how do elements (and groups) in society control behavior thorough a vareity of means such as instilling a sense of duty or guilt, making them feel watched, rewards and punishments etc... Finally, in this unit we'll cover things like Criminology: the study of types of crime, theories of crime, and crime prevention.
