Crime and deviance overview quiz - Eduqas GCSE Sociology quiz

Crime breaks the law; deviance breaks social norms and is not always illegal

They are exactly the same thing and the two words mean the same

Crime only breaks social norms, while deviance is what actually breaks the law

Deviance is always far more serious and harmful than any kind of crime

Deviance is built into our genes and we are born either deviant or not

What counts as deviant is created by society and varies by time, place and situation

What counts as deviant is fixed for all time and stays exactly the same everywhere in the world

Only the police have the power to decide what counts as deviant behaviour
