Deviance and Social Control

This document discusses several sociological theories of deviance, including conformity, innovation, ritualism, retreatism, and rebellion. It also covers the conflict theory, cultural transmission theory, and social learning theory. The conflict theory argues that powerful groups define the values of weaker groups as deviant in order to exploit them. The cultural transmission theory states that deviance can be transmitted through socialization. And the social learning theory suggests that behavior is determined by consequences like rewards and punishments received after an action.
