    Everything that is considered deviant is a crime

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "everything that is considered deviant is a crime" is false. Deviance refers to behavior that goes against societal norms, while a crime refers to a specific act that is prohibited by law. Not all deviant behaviors are considered crimes, as there can be actions that are socially frowned upon but not illegal. For example, wearing unconventional clothing or having unconventional beliefs may be considered deviant, but they are not crimes. Therefore, the given statement is incorrect.

    A big problem with official statistics is?

    Correct Answer
    accuracy
    under reporting
    over reporting
    Explanation
    Official statistics can suffer from a lack of accuracy, which means that the data may not truly reflect the reality of the situation being measured. Additionally, there can be issues with under reporting, where certain data or information is not fully captured or reported, leading to an incomplete picture. On the other hand, over reporting can also occur, where data may be exaggerated or inflated, leading to misleading or incorrect conclusions. These problems with accuracy, under reporting, and over reporting can undermine the reliability and usefulness of official statistics.

  • 4. 

    According to the control theory deliquents are less bonded to their parents?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    According to the control theory, delinquents are less bonded to their parents. This theory suggests that individuals who have weak bonds with their parents are more likely to engage in delinquent behavior. These weak bonds can be due to factors such as lack of parental supervision, inconsistent discipline, or poor parent-child communication. Delinquents may feel disconnected from their parents and therefore seek out other sources of support or validation, which can lead to involvement in delinquent activities.

    Primary focus on exteme groups deemphasizes serious violence in society and further stigmatizes some behaviors and groups.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that when the primary focus is on extreme groups, it tends to downplay the presence of serious violence in society and also perpetuates stereotypes and stigmatization of certain behaviors and groups. This implies that by solely focusing on extreme groups, we may overlook or underestimate the broader issues of violence and discriminate against certain individuals or communities.

  • 6. 

    The terms crime and deviance can be used interchangably

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The terms "crime" and "deviance" cannot be used interchangeably. While both concepts involve behavior that goes against societal norms, they have distinct meanings. Crime refers to actions that are illegal and punishable by law, whereas deviance encompasses any behavior that deviates from social norms, whether or not it is illegal. Therefore, it is incorrect to use these terms interchangeably.

    According to the strain theory ritualistic is when you have no goals, but you have the means

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    According to the strain theory, ritualistic behavior occurs when individuals have no goals but still have the means to achieve them. This means that they may engage in repetitive, monotonous actions without any clear purpose or ambition. Therefore, the statement that "according to the strain theory, ritualistic is when you have no goals, but you have the means" is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    All of the following are elements of bonds except which?

    • Involvement

    • Assumptions

    • Commitment

    • Beliefs

    Correct Answer
    A. Assumptions
    Explanation
    Bonds typically involve elements such as involvement, commitment, and beliefs, as they are built on trust, shared values, and emotional connections. Assumptions, on the other hand, are not necessarily a core element of bonds. While assumptions can exist within a bond, they are not an inherent part of it. Assumptions are more related to individual perspectives and expectations, which may influence the bond but are not essential to its existence.

    • Costello

    • Merton

    • Beck

    • Durkhiem

    Correct Answer
    A. Merton
    Explanation
    The strain theory was developed by Merton. This theory suggests that individuals may engage in deviant behavior when they are unable to achieve socially accepted goals through legitimate means. Merton argued that the strain between societal goals and the means to achieve them can lead to various forms of deviance, such as criminal behavior.

    • Allow for generalizability

    • More objective

    • You can costimize them

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Surveys have advantages such as allowing for generalizability, meaning that the results can be applied to a larger population. They also tend to be more objective as they rely on standardized questions and responses. Additionally, surveys can be customized to fit the specific needs of the research or study. Therefore, the correct answer is "all of the above" as all the given options are advantages of using surveys.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    According to the strain theory, innovation refers to the creation of new goals or means to achieve them when individuals face societal strains or lack of opportunities. It is not when individuals have no goals but have the means. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Strain theory is based on?

    • Goals and means

    • Harm

    • Control

    • Power

    Correct Answer
    A. Goals and means
    Explanation
    Strain theory is based on the concept of goals and means. According to this theory, individuals experience strain or frustration when they are unable to achieve their desired goals through legitimate means. This strain can lead to deviant behavior as individuals may resort to illegitimate means to attain their goals. Therefore, the theory emphasizes the importance of understanding the relationship between societal goals and the means available to individuals in order to explain deviant behavior.

  • 15. 

    People who are exposed to favorable definitions of crime are less likely to commit crime

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Exposure to favorable definitions of crime does not necessarily decrease the likelihood of committing a crime. The perception of crime and its definition varies among individuals and societies. Factors such as personal values, social environment, and upbringing play a significant role in determining criminal behavior. While positive definitions of crime may influence some individuals to refrain from criminal activities, it cannot be generalized that everyone exposed to such definitions will automatically be deterred from committing crimes. Therefore, the statement is false.

    Quinney's ____________________, suggests that definitions of deviance develop because the powerful are protecting their interests

    Correct Answer
    Social Reality of Crime
    Explanation
    Quinney's theory of the "Social Reality of Crime" proposes that definitions of deviance and crime are constructed by those in power in order to safeguard their own interests. This perspective suggests that the powerful individuals and groups in society shape and manipulate the understanding of what constitutes deviant behavior in order to maintain their control and dominance. By defining certain actions as deviant or criminal, those in power can effectively control and regulate the behavior of others, thereby protecting their own status and interests. This theory highlights the social construction of crime and deviance, emphasizing the role of power dynamics in shaping societal perceptions and responses to these behaviors.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    Differentail Association is based of what?

    • Harm

    • Learning

    • Guilt

    • Power

    Correct Answer
    A. Learning
    Explanation
    Differential Association is based on the concept of learning. It suggests that individuals learn deviant behavior through their interactions with others, particularly in intimate and close-knit groups. According to this theory, individuals acquire criminal or deviant behavior patterns through a process of social learning, where they are exposed to definitions favorable to law violation. This learning can occur through various forms, such as direct communication, observation, and imitation. Therefore, the correct answer for this question is "learning".

    Advantages of offical statisics include

    • Low cost

    • High generalizability

    • Accessible

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The advantages of official statistics include low cost, high generalizability, and accessibility. Low cost implies that these statistics can be obtained without significant financial burden. High generalizability means that the findings from official statistics can be applied to larger populations or groups. Accessibility refers to the ease of accessing and utilizing official statistics for various purposes. Therefore, the correct answer is "all of the above," as all three advantages are applicable to official statistics.

    The ABC's of deviance are all except

    • Attitudes

    • Behaviors

    • Conditions

    • Circumstances

    Correct Answer
    A. Circumstances
    Explanation
    The ABC's of deviance refer to attitudes, behaviors, and conditions that are considered deviant in society. Circumstances, on the other hand, are external factors or situations that may influence or contribute to deviant behavior, but they are not considered a direct component of deviance itself. Therefore, circumstances are the correct answer as they are not part of the ABC's of deviance.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    The womens movement cause more woman to do deviant acts because their mothers were at work and not how taking care of them.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    This statement suggests that the women's movement caused more women to engage in deviant acts because their mothers were not taking care of them. However, this explanation is not supported by any evidence or logical reasoning. The women's movement aimed to achieve gender equality and empower women, not to encourage deviant behavior. Additionally, the assumption that working mothers are neglectful or unable to care for their children is a stereotype and not universally true. Therefore, the statement is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    Once some one is labeled deviant this can cause?

    • Primary deviance

    • Secondary deviance

    • Degratiion ceremony

    • Symbols

    Correct Answer
    A. Secondary deviance
    Explanation
    Secondary deviance refers to the behavior that occurs as a result of a person being labeled as deviant by society. Once someone is labeled as deviant, it can cause them to internalize this label and engage in further deviant behavior. This can be due to a variety of factors, such as the person feeling stigmatized or rejected by society, or as a way to rebel against societal norms and expectations. Secondary deviance can lead to a cycle of continued deviant behavior, further reinforcing the person's deviant identity.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    The thought that by the age of 9 a persons self control level is crystalized.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that by the age of 9, a person's self-control level becomes fixed or solidified. This means that their ability to regulate their emotions, impulses, and behavior is fully developed and unlikely to change significantly. This aligns with research in developmental psychology, which indicates that self-control tends to improve throughout childhood and adolescence, with notable advancements occurring by the age of 9. Therefore, the correct answer is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    According to the control theory your friends don't influence you you seek out your friends

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    According to the control theory, individuals actively choose their friends based on their own preferences and needs, rather than being influenced by their friends. This means that you are the one who seeks out friends who align with your interests, values, and goals. Therefore, the statement "your friends don't influence you, you seek out your friends" is true.

    According to the relativists deviance is..

    • Whatever a social audience reacts against

    • What ever causes harm

    • What ever those in power say is deviant

    • Based on a patriacal system

    Correct Answer
    A. Whatever a social audience reacts against
    Explanation
    According to the relativists, deviance is defined as whatever a social audience reacts against. This means that deviance is not an inherent characteristic of an action or behavior, but rather it is determined by the reaction and judgment of the society or social group. In other words, an act or behavior is considered deviant if it goes against the norms, values, or expectations of the social audience. This perspective emphasizes the subjective nature of deviance and highlights the importance of social context in defining what is considered deviant.

    The key assumption of the labeling theory is that deviance depends on ___________ definitions?

    • Subjective

    • Objective

    • Realitive

    • Related

    Correct Answer
    A. Subjective
    Explanation
    The key assumption of the labeling theory is that deviance depends on subjective definitions. This means that whether an act is considered deviant or not is determined by the subjective judgments and perceptions of individuals or groups in society. The labeling theory suggests that deviance is not inherent in an act itself, but rather it is the result of societal reactions and labels placed on individuals who engage in certain behaviors. These labels can vary across different cultures, societies, and even among different individuals within the same society, highlighting the subjective nature of deviance.

    _______________ view relaity as social constructed

    Correct Answer
    social constructionism
    Explanation
    Social constructionism is a theoretical perspective that views reality as socially constructed. It suggests that our understanding of the world is shaped by social and cultural influences, rather than being an objective and fixed reality. According to social constructionism, knowledge and meaning are created through social interactions and shared understandings. This perspective challenges the notion of an objective reality and emphasizes the importance of examining the social and cultural context in which knowledge is produced and understood.

    Using statistical definitions of deviance what would not be considered deviant?

    • Mental retardation

    • Genious iq

    • Being to tall

    • Being average height

    Correct Answer
    A. Being average height
    Explanation
    Being average height would not be considered deviant according to statistical definitions of deviance. Deviance is typically defined as behavior or characteristics that deviate significantly from the norm or average. In this case, being average height means falling within the range of what is considered normal or typical, and therefore does not deviate from the statistical norm.

Control theory suggests that individuals are motivated to behave in ways that maximize pleasure and minimize pain. It emphasizes the role of internal and external controls in regulating behavior. This statement aligns with the idea that individuals are driven to seek pleasure and avoid pain, which is a fundamental aspect of control theory.

    • Functionalism

    • Feminist Critique

    • Strain Theory

    • Symbolic interactist

    Correct Answer
    A. Functionalism
    Explanation
    Functionalism is the most closely related perspective to absolutist. Functionalism is a sociological perspective that emphasizes the interdependence and interconnectedness of different parts of society. It views society as a system with various institutions and structures that work together to maintain stability and order. Similarly, absolutist thinking is characterized by rigid adherence to a set of fixed principles or beliefs, without considering the context or circumstances. Both functionalism and absolutism focus on the importance of maintaining social order and stability.

    According to social control theory deivance occurs when?

    • You goals and means don't match up

    • The powerful make the rules

    • Social bonds are low or weakened

    • You learn it through interactions with otheres

    Correct Answer
    A. Social bonds are low or weakened
    Explanation
    According to social control theory, deviance occurs when social bonds are low or weakened. This means that individuals who have weak or limited connections to society, such as weak family ties or lack of involvement in community activities, are more likely to engage in deviant behavior. The theory suggests that strong social bonds act as a form of social control, preventing individuals from engaging in deviant acts. When these bonds are weakened or absent, individuals may feel less constrained by societal norms and more inclined to engage in deviant behavior.

    Rate this question:

  • 31. 

    Disadvantages to survey data are?

    • Costly and time consuming

    • Social desirability

    • A and b

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. A and b
    Explanation
    The disadvantages of survey data are that it can be costly and time-consuming to collect, as well as susceptible to social desirability bias. Survey research often requires significant resources to design, distribute, and analyze, making it a costly data collection method. Additionally, respondents may provide answers that they believe are socially desirable rather than their true opinions or behaviors, leading to biased results. Therefore, the correct answer is "a and b" since both options accurately describe the disadvantages of survey data.

It implies that deviant behavior exists across different societies and throughout history. This perspective views deviance as a universal phenomenon that is not confined to any particular group or society.

    Correct Answer
    A. Self control theory
    Explanation

    • 1948

    • 1970s

    • 1990

    Correct Answer
    A. 1970s
    Explanation
    The study of deviance peaked in the 1970s. This period saw a significant increase in research and interest in understanding and explaining deviant behavior. The 1970s marked a shift in focus from individualistic explanations of deviance to more structural and societal factors influencing deviant behavior. This was also a time when new theories and perspectives, such as labeling theory and conflict theory, gained prominence in the field of deviance studies. The 1970s can be considered a turning point in the study of deviance, making it the correct answer.

    • Classical

    • Religious

    • Pathological

    Correct Answer
    A. Religious
    Explanation
    In the early conception of deviance, the idea of deviance being influenced by religious factors was not present. The other three options - demonic, classical, and pathological - were all early conceptualizations of deviance. The demonic perspective viewed deviance as being caused by evil spirits or supernatural forces. The classical perspective saw deviance as a rational choice made by individuals based on the potential benefits and consequences. The pathological perspective considered deviance as a result of mental illness or psychological abnormalities. However, the religious perspective was not considered as an early conception of deviance.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "pinto" because it is a reference to the term "pinto madness," which was a social constructionist perspective on the safety of the Ford Pinto car model in the 1970s. This perspective highlighted the social and cultural factors that influenced the perception and construction of the dangers associated with the car, rather than solely focusing on objective facts or evidence. Social constructionism emphasizes the role of societal beliefs, values, and interpretations in shaping our understanding of reality.

    The term "relativist" suggests a perspective that emphasizes the subjective nature of reality and the importance of understanding different interpretations and meanings. Symbolic interactionism is a sociological perspective that focuses on how individuals interact and create meaning through symbols and shared understandings. This perspective aligns with the idea of relativism as it recognizes the significance of individual interpretations and the social construction of reality.

    Correct Answer
    A. Critical & authority
    Explanation
    One association to labeling theory is the critical perspective, which emphasizes the negative consequences of labeling individuals as deviant or criminal. Another association is authority, as labeling theory suggests that the power and authority of those who label individuals play a significant role in the labeling process and its effects. This perspective highlights how the authority figures, such as police officers or judges, have the power to attach labels to individuals, which can have long-lasting impacts on their lives and social interactions.

    Correct Answer
    A. Cultural

    • Control

    • Feminist

    • Conflict

    • Differental association

    Correct Answer
    A. Conflict
    Explanation
    The Social Power Perspective is closely related to the Conflict theory. This theory focuses on the idea that society is made up of different groups with competing interests and that social change occurs through conflict and struggle between these groups. The Social Power Perspective also emphasizes the unequal distribution of power and resources in society, which can lead to social inequality and oppression. Therefore, the Conflict theory aligns with the Social Power Perspective as both emphasize the role of conflict and power dynamics in shaping social structures and relationships.

    The feminist theory of deviance focuses on all of the following except?

    • Interaction between men and women

    • Labeling female behavior

    • Victimization

    • Social movements

    Correct Answer
    A. Interaction between men and women
    Explanation
    The feminist theory of deviance examines various aspects related to gender and deviant behavior. It explores the labeling and perception of female behavior, the role of victimization in deviance, and the influence of social movements. However, it does not specifically focus on the interaction between men and women as a central aspect of deviance. This answer suggests that the feminist theory of deviance encompasses all the mentioned aspects except the interaction between men and women.

    What term is related with this phrase "ruling class dusguise the self-serving basis of the law they create?"

    • SPP

    • Social reality of a crime

    • Conflict theory

    • Social constructionism

    Correct Answer
    A. Social reality of a crime
    Explanation
    The term "social reality of a crime" is related to the phrase "ruling class disguises the self-serving basis of the law they create" because it suggests that the concept of crime is not objective, but rather a social construct influenced by those in power. It implies that the ruling class manipulates the law to protect their own interests and maintain their dominance, hiding the true motivations behind their legislation. This perspective aligns with the idea that crime is not solely determined by the actions themselves, but also by societal norms and power dynamics.

    • Surveys

    • Obsevations

    Correct Answer
    A. Qualitative research methods
    Explanation
    One of the associations to the labeling theory is qualitative research methods. This is because qualitative research methods focus on understanding the subjective experiences and perspectives of individuals, which aligns with the labeling theory's emphasis on how societal labels and judgments can influence an individual's self-perception and behavior. Qualitative research methods involve techniques such as interviews, observations, and analysis of textual data, which can provide rich and in-depth insights into the labeling process and its effects on individuals.

    • The war on drugs

    • Social construction of reality

    • The medicalization of deviance

    Correct Answer
    A. Social construction of reality
    Explanation
    Social constructionism is a sociological theory that suggests that reality is not an objective truth but is created and shaped by individuals and societies through social interactions and interpretations. It emphasizes the role of language, symbols, and social institutions in constructing our understanding of the world. The examples listed in the question, such as organizational deviance, the war on drugs, and the medicalization of deviance, all demonstrate how social constructs influence our perception and treatment of certain behaviors or phenomena. However, the "social construction of reality" is not an example of social constructionism itself but rather a concept within the theory that explains how individuals collectively create and maintain their understanding of the world.

    There are 3 associations of labeling theorists what is one?

    • Innovation

    • Unknown

    • Independant

    • Inductive

    Correct Answer
    A. Inductive
    Explanation
    Inductive is the correct answer because labeling theorists use inductive reasoning to develop their theories. Inductive reasoning involves making generalizations based on specific observations or patterns. In the context of labeling theory, researchers observe specific instances of labeling and then generalize their findings to develop broader theories about the effects of labeling on individuals and society. This approach allows labeling theorists to build their theories from the ground up, starting with specific observations and gradually forming broader conclusions.
