Understanding Crime and Deviance: Legal and Social Perspectives

This page introduces core concepts in criminology unit 2 1.1 crime and deviance, establishing fundamental definitions and frameworks. The content explores both legal and social definitions of criminal behavior.

Definition: Crime is defined through two essential components: Actus Reus (guilty act) and Mens Rea (guilty mind).

Vocabulary: Deviance refers to behavior that doesn't conform to society's norms and values.

Example: Types of deviance include:

  • Admired deviant behavior (helping others while endangering oneself)
  • Odd behavior (wearing sunglasses in winter)
  • Criminal behavior (assault, burglary)

Highlight: Social norms and rules are socially constructed, meaning they can vary across different societies and locations.
