SOCY 275 Quiz- Questions & Answers

situational action theory (wikstrom) Correct Ans-The theory was developed to help
understand how both personal factors as well as environmental factors influence whether
people engage in crime or not. Argues that crime are moral actions, or behaviours influence by
moral rules




action alternatives Correct Ans-These set the boundaries on peoples choices. They are
influenced by the persons moral rules and the moral emotions




habitual action Correct Ans-The situation where the person perceives only one action
alternative and automatically selects this



If someone perceived an action alternative, whether they act on this will depend on a number
of factors

- self-control

- fear of sanctions




environments and moral habits Correct Ans-Environments vary in the features that influence
whether or not a crime can take place. Settings vary in their moral norms, which may either
promote or deter the breaking of rules defined as illegal

,Labelling theory Correct Ans-When we speak of labeling theory we are really talking about a
perspective that has many different components, which have not really been properly
integrated to provide a coherent theoretical approach




What are the two ways labelling can be used Correct Ans-1. We can use it to understand
how someone who gets labeled as deviant increases their illegal behaviour




2. We can use it to understand which types of people or groups are more likely to receive a
deviant label or be the targets of labelers




what is labelling? Correct Ans-Various theorists have used various terms to describe what
labeling is

These include tagging, defining, describing, or emphasizing that a person is a deviant and
making the person conscious or self-conscious they are a deviant




independent variable (labelling causes deviance) Correct Ans-primary deviance

- When people first engage in a deviant act but have not yet been labeled as a deviant, their
behaviour is defined as primary deviance




secondary deviance

- Once a person has been labeled, then any deviance that occurs subsequently is referred to as
secondary deviance

, degradation ceremony (erikson) Correct Ans-1. A formal confrontation between the suspect
and the representatives of the community

2. The announcement of a judgement

3. An act of social placement or an assignment of a role



This all leads to a Master Status. That of a deviant. It overrides all of statuses the person may
have




Consequences of labeling Correct Ans-1. Change in identity

2. Movement into groups with other labelled people who then develop subcultural responses to
cope with the labelling

3. Adoption of values supportive of crime

4. Structural consequences




shaming Correct Ans-Any social process that expresses disapproval of the sanctioned act
with the intent of effect of invoking moral regret in the person shamed




shaming is reintegrative when Correct Ans-It reinforces an offenders membership in the law-
abiding community

This prevents the development of the adoption of a master status




Reintegrative shaming is accomplished when shaming Correct Ans-1. Maintains bonds of
love and respect between the person being shamed and the person doing the shaming
