Labelling and Deviance Mind Map: Understanding Moral Panic and Folk Devils in Crime

Moral Panic and Labelling Theory in Criminology explores how society creates and responds to deviance through social construction and institutional processes.

  • Moral panic and folk devils emerge through media sensationalization and societal reactions to perceived threats
  • Labelling theory demonstrates how criminal behavior is socially constructed rather than inherently deviant
  • The process of labelling affects both criminal justice outcomes and mental health treatment
  • Institutional responses can reinforce deviant labels and create self-fulfilling prophecies
  • Media plays a crucial role in amplifying moral panics and stereotyping certain groups

Page 2: Labelling Theory and Mental Health Institutions

This page delves into the application of labelling theory within mental health institutions and explores how societal definitions of normal behavior impact treatment approaches.

Definition: Mortification is the process where a patient's personal identity is replaced by one defined by the institution.

Example: The removal of personal clothing, lack of privacy, and enforced hospital routines demonstrate institutional mortification.

Highlight: Patients may respond to institutional labels through rebellion, institutionalization, or withdrawal.

Vocabulary: Institutionalisation refers to when patients accept their mentally ill label and become dependent on hospital environments.

Quote: "Our understanding of mentally ill will depend on how society defines normal behaviour."

Page 1: Moral Panic and Labelling Theory Foundations

This page explores the fundamental concepts of moral panic and labelling theory in criminology. The text examines how society creates and responds to deviance through various social mechanisms.

Definition: Moral panic refers to the process of arousing social concern over an issue, typically initiated by moral entrepreneurs and involving the creation of folk devils.

Vocabulary: A moral entrepreneur represents individuals like teachers and politicians who determine what constitutes criminal or deviant behavior.

Example: Jock Young's 1979 study of Notting Hill police demonstrated how media stereotypes influenced law enforcement targeting of specific groups.

Highlight: Becker's fundamental assertion that social groups create deviance by establishing and applying rules that label certain individuals as outsiders.

Quote: "It's not the nature of the act that makes it deviant but the nature of society's reaction to it."

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.
