Deviance is behavior that violates social norms and arouses negative social reactions. Crime is behavior that is considered so serious that it violates formal laws prohibiting such behavior. Social control refers to ways in which a society tries to prevent and sanction behavior that violates norms.
https://open.lib.umn.edu chapter

What are deviance and society?
Deviance is any behavior that violates social norms and is usually of sufficient severity to warrant disapproval from the

majority of society. Deviance can be criminal or noncriminal. The sociological discipline that deals with crime (behavior that violates laws) is criminology (also known as criminal justice).
https://www.cliffsnotes.com theo…

Which of the following identifies the relationship between society and deviance? We prefer to live in a society where people behave in individual ways. Deviance must always be challenged by bureaucracy.

Why is deviance important to society?
mile Durkheim believed that deviance is a necessary part of a successful society and that it serves three functions: 1) it clarifies norms and increases conformity, 2) it strengthens social bonds among the people reacting to the deviant, and 3) it can help lead to positive social change and challenges to people’s …

How does deviance benefit society? Deviance clarifies norms by exercising social control to defend its values; society defines, adjusts, and reaffirms norms. Deviance can be a temporary safety valve. Deviance increases unity within a society or group.

2.

Deviance is behaviors or actions that breach social norms. One example would be protesting that could be good or bad. Such as the protest of Black Lives Matter. It is a protest that has a lasting impact on individuals and has caused individuals to remember it. Based off of the Black Lives Matter protest I can see it potentially developing into a societal change over time. But not all protesting is positive. Protesting could lead into riots which could cause harm to individuals or property and in the end, harm is not actually identifying the true meaning behind the protest. I believe some protesting start out as a deviance behavior.

Deviance plays a roll a huge roll in everyday life due to certain situations that may cause this type of behavior. There are things like social justice movements where deviance can be positive and have a lasting impact on people’s lives. However It’s important to note that some may not see protests or riots as positive actions but they definitely cause change to come which in my eyes is positive. These types of movements are very important and can cause an everlasting impact to certain individuals. To me personally i don’t think social justice movements start out as deviant behavior because the reasons for this type of behavior are for the greater good and for the right reasons. I think because of why they are protesting it is so important and the changes they cause in society can be wonderful and bring such an impact.

Imagine you are the head of a human services agency that provides behavior analytic treatment to individuals. The organization employs 5 behavior analysts, 25 RBTs, and has approximately 40 clients. It is a clinic environment, so no travel will be required of your employees. Develop 3 reinforcement systems that produce positive reinforcement and discuss how you would establish them within your organization. Remember to consider everything you have read, schedules of delivery, and feasibility of implementation.

Communities and Police have always had a rocky relationship. In May 2020, almost 2 years ago today, a black man was brutally murdered by police. Civil unrest broke loose as the black community felt this was personal and race-related. By that June, rioting, arson, and looting spread throughout the United States this called for issuing an order for a curfew for at least 200 cities in America and the deployment of over 62,000 National Guard personnel to assist with the complete chaos that had ensued. George Floyd was killed in broad daylight in view of many bystanders. The video footage showed a white police officer using extreme violence on a black man cooperating with his commands. Throughout the years, the war between police and blacks has been evident and when Floyd was killed the community demanded justice for Floyd and for equality when being questioned by police. Understandable. The potential lasting impacts on social and political movements, education, policing, and justice across the country are 4 significant areas that need to be shifted for positive change. The Black Lives Matter campaign started after Trayvon Martin was murdered and the killer was acquitted. Once the video of Floyd went viral it shook all communities to the core because many especially whites were not aware that the black community was still treated differently and wrongly by police. Blacks have feared police presence forever and now they take extra precautions like recording interactions with police when stopped. Other hand body cams were issued to officers to record their interactions as well in an attempt to provide transparency and accountability within the police departments. George Floyd sparked a new light on the public by seeing more of the race issues in the US including policing and the criminal justice system that was previously unnoticed. In the video, it was a good example of how not every officer is corrupt yet there are corrupt officers and the city of Philadelphia is working toward multiple ways of preventing situations that are unjust. Citizens including those of the black community should not fear police presence. It is also important for everyone to remember being an officer is a dangerous occupation and many times outnumbered in the communities so they have a heightened sense of protecting themselves and others in the community when going to work a call. All aspects of the communities and police are impacted in regards to educating, policing, and showing justice across the country.

Community policing focuses on solving problems, whereas police-community relations change citizen attitudes and improve police relationships with citizens. In addition, community policing requires regular contact with citizens, rather than the infrequent contact of police-community relations.

Working with the police, officers apply problem-solving methods to reduce crime and disorder while improving the overall quality of life in their beats. As each officer’s rank increases, he or she becomes responsible for more neighborhoodsnot only for responding to crime but for maintaining communication and engagement.
https://cops.usdoj.gov  

When there are good police-community relations, police have a better understanding of the public’s concerns (especially those that are crime-related), and citizens are more inclined to report crimes that occur to the police, provide tips/intelligence to law enforcement, willingly serve as witnesses, and are happy to …

What is the relationship between the police and the community?
Trust between law enforcement and the public is essential. Communities rely on police and prosecutors to protect them from crime and injustice. We, in turn, rely on community support and cooperation in ensuring safety. But in too many neighborhoods across the country, this vital relationship is strained.

On April 4, 2022, just 1 month ago, a young black man 26 years old, named Patrick Lyoya refugee from the Democratic Republic of the congo, was fatally shot in the back of the head by an officer of the Grand Rapid police department during a scuffle between the two in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  Videos show Lyoya who was unarmed was shot in the back of the head while lying face down on the ground  Mr. Lyoya who was pulled over for a traffic stop did try to run from the officer but a faulty license plate is no reason to be murdered. (WTOP News).

The bad news is police abuse is a serious problem. It has a long history, and it seems to defy all attempts at eradication.
