The document discusses the history and evolution of sociological theories of deviance. It explains how early sociological theories viewed deviance as a violation of social norms and studied deviants, while modern theories focus on how social groups construct and apply definitions of deviance and examine the social processes that label people as outsiders. The document also summarizes several contemporary theoretical perspectives on deviance, such as interactionist views that deviance is a consequence of interactions and labeling, and critical theories that examine how power relations influence which acts become socially prohibited.
