Conclusion -> draw together main ideas/arguments An outsider does not fit into society and they will do what they see to be right. Although the legal system is meant to be fair, it is only fair to society. If some one is different society tries to outcast them. More often than not, justice does not reach as far as the outsider. Justice is what is seen to be right and just by society and this means that society is catered for.

People who do not follow these social norms are seen as deviant or abnormal. (Class notes) Some of the rules set in society are explicit, driving on the right side of the road. Paying for goods, not using threatening behaviour or violence to another person. Not adhering to these behaviour’s violates legal norms and is considered criminal. (Psychology AS) Social norms change over time, and some things that may be considered
Deviance is behaviour that does not conform to the norms and expectations of society. For a lot people, deviance is a word used only in relation to religious, moral and political norms. A ‘deviant’ is someone who chooses to depart from what is referred to as ‘normal’ moral standards or who deviates from a political or religious environment or institution. From a sociological point of view deviance, however, is viewed from within a much broader perspective taking into consideration deviation from many kinds of social norms, this could be something relatively trivial such as burping or farting in public or something explicitly banned such as murder or rape. What is crime?
However, failure to function adequately is a general sign of a disorder and not itself specific to any condition. Rosenhan and Seligman (1989) have suggested some characteristics of abnormal behaviour that are related to the FFA definition include: observer discomfort, unpredictability, irrationality and maladaptiveness. One limitation of Failure to Function Adequately is Cultural issues. Patterns of behaviour vary from culture to culture, so failing to function adequately may look different depending upon which culture you are in. The FFA criterion is likely to result in different diagnosis when applied to people from different cultures, because the standard of one culture being used to measure another.
24 March 2011 Heat Pacino and Deniro did not just simply follow their roles. Their lives were encompassing of their roles. They would find it difficult to function outside their roles, because it would simply be outside their norm.

Describing crime and deviance is varied across different cultures; history; social situations and place. It will look at the bodies that measure crime and look at the reasons why they are not accurate. There are several differences between crime and deviance, deviance is a violation of the social norms whereas crime is a violation of the laws of the land. Society has no power for deviance but the government can punish with crime. Much behaviour that was seen as deviant in the past has today become a criminal offence, as with crime behaviour seen as criminal is now seen as deviant.
Different cultures “judge” pornography in different ways in different periods of time. There are a various lines around what is acceptable and what is obscene among various culture based on morality.

As in question 2, there could be two different outcomes. Depending on the viewer it can be effective but it could be ineffective as well. It could be affective in that the viewer could get the message of the advert and change their ways and the way they think about alcohol. It could be ineffective as the viewer might not care if that happens to them and some people might think that it won't happen to them as they have done it in the past. This may cause them to then just ignore the advert.
Importance of Social Bonds By definition exhibiting a behavior that breaks a norm, or rule, placed upon you by society, your situation, or those around you, is deviant. The same behavior could be considered deviant for one person and not another. It depends upon the person in the situation, when and where it’s taking place, and those around who know what’s happening. There are two major viewpoints of deviance, each having many theories to explain it. The humanist approach doesn’t describe deviance as a behavior, rather defining it by the reaction and it being a subjective experience.
