Sociology GCSE Revision: Y11
8 Crime and deviance

Crime and deviance are different ideas. Crime is the breaking of written rules and deviance is the breaking of social rules. How do we make people follow rules? What happens if they break those rules? How do we learn rules? Who commits crimes? What have sociologists said causes criminal behaviour? You need to understand that there are problems with measuring crime rates.
