Labeling Theory
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Labeling theory holds that deviance is produced by the reaction to an act rather than by the act itself: an act becomes deviant when a society labels it so.
Show
Two people commit the same act; one is labeled, and only that one acquires the status.
Watch for
The theory concerns how the status is conferred, and does not deny the act happened.
