Question 2

In labelling theory,Lemert distinguishes between primary deviance and secondary deviance.How does the process of getting caught can lead from primary deviance to secondary deviance?

Accepted Answer

In labelling theory, Lemert distinguishes between primary deviance and secondary deviance. Primary deviance refers to the initial act of deviance, while secondary deviance refers to the subsequent deviant behavior that occurs as a result of the societal reaction to the initial act.

The process of getting caught can lead from primary deviance to secondary deviance through the societal reaction to the initial act. When an individual is caught engaging in deviant behavior, they are often labelled as a deviant by society. This label can lead to stigmatization and social exclusion, which can in turn lead the individual to internalize the deviant label and adopt it as part of their identity.

As a result, the individual may feel alienated from mainstream society and may seek out other deviant individuals and behaviors as a way to cope with their stigmatized status. This can lead to a pattern of continued deviant behavior, as the individual becomes more deeply entrenched in a deviant subculture.

In this way, the process of getting caught can lead from primary deviance to secondary deviance by reinforcing the deviant label and pushing the individual further into a pattern of deviant behavior. This highlights the importance of societal reactions in shaping individuals' paths towards continued deviance.
