Conflict Theorists Believe That Society's Definition of Deviance Is Designed

question 104

Essay

Conflict theorists believe that society's definition of deviance is designed in such a way that people with the most power will be seen as most "normal" and even idealized by the rest of society, while those with the least power will more often be considered deviant and subject to the negative sanctions that come with a deviant identity. Give some examples of how laws can target people with less power and label their behaviors or lifestyles as deviant.
