Social norms play a big role in how we see crime and behavior that’s considered wrong. Here’s a simple breakdown:
What is Deviance?: What one group thinks is normal, another might think is strange. For example, while some people think tattoos are awesome, others believe they are bad.
How Society Keeps Control: Norms set expectations for how people should act. When someone breaks these rules, society usually reacts—just like when people gossip about it!
Laws and What’s Right or Wrong: Laws are made based on society's norms. So, when something is illegal, it often shows what people believe is acceptable or not.
In short, how we understand crime is closely tied to these changing social norms!
