Comparing Criminal Behaviour and Deviance
This section delves into the distinctions between criminal behaviour and deviance, providing crucial insights for students of criminology.
Definition: Deviance refers to behaviour that goes against societal norms, which can be unusual in three ways: positively unusual, eccentric and bizarre, or disapproved and negative.
Highlight: Crime is a form of deviant behaviour involving serious, harmful acts considered wrong by society.
The legal definition of crime is explored, emphasizing two key elements:
Example: Summary offences, such as speeding, are less serious and handled in magistrates' courts, while indictable offences are more serious and tried in Crown courts.
The document also discusses the importance of values and norms in society:
Definition: Values are general principles guiding how we should live our lives, determining right and wrong.
Definition: Norms are specific rules or standards of behaviour expected in particular situations.
Vocabulary: Social control refers to how society tries to ensure its members behave as expected, using formal and informal sanctions.
Example: The police code of ethics includes principles such as accountability, integrity, openness, fairness, leadership, respect, honesty, objectivity, and selflessness.

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.

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.

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.
