"Deviance" is when a person’s action violates a social norm (McIntyre 2011). It is common because it takes part in everyday life; at school, in the workplace, and in social atmospheres. It’s hard to justify why people are deviant and it is usually looked down upon by society when people assemble deviant actions.

He continues on to explaining that if the society no longer has criminal acts, the crime would then disappear. However, it does not disappear, it would change form, for the very cause which would thus dry up the sources of criminally would immediately open up new ones (Durkheim 2011, 258). Changes in culture and society affect what society views as deviant and what is normal throughout time. Crime is an example of an act that violates a norm, but may not be labeled as deviant.
