Officers had typifications that led them to focus on certain types. Law enforcement then showed class bias. W/C areas fitted typifications so police patrolled more intensively = more arrests = confirming stereotypes. Justice is negotiable. (8) 5. Hippie marijuana users - persecution and labelling led them to see themselves as outsiders. Retreated into closed groups and developed deviant subculture. Drugs became central = further attention from police and self-fulfilling prophecy. (5) Down 2. A deviant is someone to whom the label has been successfully applied and deviant behaviour is behaviour that people so label. Social groups create deviance by making rules and applying them to certain people and labelling them as outsiders. (6) 3. We can't predict whether someone who has been labelled will follow a deviant career, because they are always free to choose not to deviate further. (6, 3, 4) 4. Primary and secondary deviance. Primary is so widespread it is unlikely to have single cause, of little significance. Secondary deviance is result of social reaction. Being caught and labelled = being stigmatised and master status.
