One of the laws of our being, is that social norms, produced in the course of it, that guide people in their everyday life, the society provides a certain stability and predictability.However, it often happens that individuals go beyond these rules and regulations that should be guided by the constant.This kind of social behavior is characterized by the concept of "deviant behavior."Often, social and psychological content to refer to this type of behavior and used the concept of deviant behavior.In its simplest sense, deviant behavior - is one that does not correspond to the existing traditions, standards and samples taken in a given society at a given historical time.
most common forms in which manifest deviant behavior, are such phenomena as suicide, alcoholism, drug addiction, crime, prostitution and some others.In the analysis of these phenomena, some social scientists differ in their content and forms of deviant and delinquent behavior.Delinquency is considered to be a social behavior of the individual, in which he not only violates ethical standards, but also the principles of legal behavior, and it's already fall under the jurisdiction of the law.The sign of distinction based on the fact that with respect to deviant behavior as a part of moral values of a particular group of people or community.Delinquent same category is an absolute, because relation to the rules under which all people live in the present time and which are fixed in the form of legislation.
For a long time scientists have tried to describe and explain the causes and sources of deviant behavior.Thus was formed a lot of different concepts and theories that attempt to reveal the essence of the problem.However, it should be recognized that to date, no single view on this issue no.All currently known types of deviant behavior are described from various points of view, grouped into some general approaches to the treatment of the causes of the deviation.
Consider some of them.
biological approach is that all people are different in their natural temperament.These differences dictate and predisposition of each individual to a particular type of behavior in society.There are exercises (eg. Lombroso), who argue that the biological predisposition not only to the deviation, but also to the delinquency is reflected in the external appearance of the individual.In this case, all forms of congenital deviations are considered as behavior.
Psychological theories explain deviant behavior as a result of a special combination of psychological features, character traits.We understand it so that the whole complex of social personality traits formed a special structure, which is dominated by antisocial installation and as a consequence, the sum of the individual focus.When psychological approach there is recognition that some of these plants has a genetic nature and the part - formed of the social environment, the environment has on a given individual dominant influence.
Sociological concept argue that the causes of deviant behavior, lie entirely in the society and are its decisive influence on the formation of the installations of the person and its behavior.It is recognized that the deviation - is the anomalous state of society arising after the collapse of the pre-existing system of values.
common to all approaches is the selection in the process deviation of primary and secondary stages.In the primary individual sporadically not "fit" in social standards, as well as the surrounding society does not form their attitude to such behavior, the actor pleaded not deviants.During the secondary deviation, on the basis of public evaluation of individual behavior, he becomes aware of his deviance, society begins to treat him accordingly.
as a deviation and delinquency can be individual and collective.
According to some scholars, the modern world is that to avoid the existence of a part of the people of deviant behavior is not possible, because you need to set the task not to eliminate it, and minimize the negative consequences.
