Investigate the social construction of deviant behavior

Investigate the social construction of deviant behavior, as well as the ways in which norms, values, and social institutions regulate and enforce conformity. Discuss sociological theories of deviance, such as labeling theory and control theory, in understanding the processes through which individuals are labeled as deviant and subjected to social control mechanisms. Analyze research findings on the social construction of crime, stigma, and moral panics, as well as the role of criminal justice systems, surveillance technologies, and rehabilitation programs in managing deviant behavior and maintaining social order.
