Deviance - the breaching of social judgements or norms - is a universal and ubiquitous phenomenon, fundamental to studies in sociology and criminology. We all make social judgements and we are all judged by others but such judgements are relative and constructed. Different societies, subcultures and even individuals have different views on what is right and wrong; and the kinds of behaviours, beliefs and bodies that are labelled as 'deviant' depend upon their historical, social and cultural context. In this subject you will explore the social construction of deviance in relation to gender, sexuality, race, bodies, minds, drug use and violence, and you will learn to use the concept of deviance as a means of critically analysing society.
