Understanding Crime and Deviance: Legal and Social Perspectives

This page introduces core concepts in criminology unit 2 1.1 crime and deviance, establishing fundamental definitions and frameworks. The content explores both legal and social definitions of criminal behavior.

Definition: Crime is defined through two essential components: Actus Reus $guilty act$ and Mens Rea $guilty mind$ .

Vocabulary: Deviance refers to behavior that doesn't conform to society's norms and values.

Example: Types of deviance include:

Admired deviant behavior $helping others while endangering oneself$
Odd behavior $wearing sunglasses in winter$
Criminal behavior $assault, burglary$

Highlight: Social norms and rules are socially constructed, meaning they can vary across different societies and locations.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
