I’m working on a writing question and need support to help me study.
Rank the following deviant acts on a scale of 1 (least deviant) to 10 (most deviant).
- Stealing bread from a grocery store to feed your family
- Illegally downloading a song to play as a DJ where you would get paid
- Killing a man who is found to be responsible for the death of your child
- A woman who sexually assaults a man at a party
- Using one’s status as CEO to control the flow of profits to your own bank account
- Buying a DVD copy of a bootleg theater film on the street
- Selling food on the boulevard without a permit
- Coming to this country without proper documentation
- Leaving a dog in a car on a hot day
- A doctor who influences patients to use a pharmaceutical for personal benefit
**For each one, discuss how the current social perception of inequality impacts it’s perceived deviance. ( Basically is this deviance related to social class and if so why?) Not all will be related to social class.
