People learn to follow specific social norms through socialization. Deviance occurs when people fail to conform to specific social norms that a significant number of people in society accept. Deviant behavior may not be dangerous or negative but is unlike the behavior that society expects and condones. Different societies consider specific behaviors to be deviant in which deviant behavior in one society may not be considered to be deviant behavior in another. Other factors also influence the understanding of deviant behavior, which stresses the importance of examining the different sources regarding deviant behavior. The current paper offers an annotated bibliography regarding the topic of deviant behavior.

This study sought to investigate factors that increase the risk of deviant behavior among adolescents. In particular, the article focused on the effects of academic performance on the association between child mistreatment and deviant behavior. The article used a large sample consisting of 2321 adolescents and used secondary analysis including generalized linear and path analyses. The article is recent and uses recent literature to support its argument on the need to clarify the association between child mistreatment and deviant behavior. It offers an analysis regarding the causes of deviant behavior from the child abuse perspective and examines how academic performance can be used to address the risk of deviant behavior for adolescents who had been mistreatment as children. The article's conclusion that good academic performance decreases the risk of deviant behavior is interesting because it demonstrates how educational programs can be used to prevent deviant behavior among teens in schools. The information will be used in the section about risk factors for deviant behavior and potential prevention strategies.
Elias, S. M. (2013). Deviant and criminal behavior in the workplace . New York University Press.
This book offers a recent literature review on the topic of deviant behavior in the workplace. The main chapters that are relevant to deviant behavior include the first three chapters focusing on the general theories of crime related to deviant behavior, characteristics of workers related to deviant behavior, organizational factors that affect deviant behavior in the workplace, and the contribution of social power and unfairness to deviant behavior in the workplace. The combined analysis that these chapters offer demonstrates a wider understanding of deviant behavior from the perspective of different disciplines including organizational, criminal, and psychological aspects of deviant behavior. Additionally, they show the various ways on how to prevent, detect, understand, and influence deviant behavior. While the book is not a research paper and lacks research results, it considers the recent research done on the topic to offer a useful analysis of deviant behavior. The chapters will be used to examine the concept of deviant behavior in the workplace, the relevant crime theories related to deviant behavior, and ways of detecting and preventing deviant behavior.

The article explores the underlying causes of deviant behavior among teenagers in a school setting. It offers a wider view regarding the concept of deviant behavior by demonstrating that the definition of deviant behavior is based on the social norm being violated. Additionally the article explores different studies to find similarities and differences regarding the main causes of deviant behavior and potential strategies to address the issue. While the article is limited in its study design due to the few numbers of participants, it employs other qualitative study techniques such as the use of clear questions and the absence of leading questions to enhance its validity and reliability. The article also uses recent sources dating mainly from 2000 and 2018 to support its various claims even though it also uses old sources such as from the 1980s. The old sources are, however, credible and support the claims. The deep analysis regarding the causes of and the strategies to deal with deviant behavior will be used to understand the origins of deviant behavior and approaches to address deviant behavior among teenagers.

The article examines the connection between attachment to parents and future deviant behavior. It also examines the effect of age and gender on this relationship. Through an analysis of 74 studies, the article finds that poor parental attachment is significantly connected to deviant behavior in both girls and boys. The effect was marked among young people than among old people. The article uses attachment theory and social control theory to examine the association between attachment and deviant behavior among teenagers and young adults. While the article uses recent studies, it also uses many old studies dated from 1944 to 1999 to support its arguments. While these studies are old, they offer a historical evolution regarding the topic, which offers further insights. The many studies used and the wider analysis increases the reliability of the article and the information will be used to support arguments about the causes of deviant behavior and potential strategies to address the issue.

The book examines the deeper aspects of deviant behavior by integrating theory and research to develop the topic. The book is wide and examines the various deviant aspects including the chapters on deviant behavior conception, global views, and different types of deviant behaviors including those practiced in small communities and those that span the globe such as human trafficking. The chapter on the theories of deviant behavior examines the different sociological theories of deviance and the different methodological approaches used in the study of deviance. Through its analysis, the book offers a diverse understanding of deviance through deep analysis of several chapters and the use of supplementary sources. The use of theory and innovative views are useful in illustrating the importance of weaknesses of various deviance theories. The book is current, clear, use illustration, and uses comprehensive and short chapters in addition to the application of analytical and critical strategies to different aspects of deviant behavior. The information from the book will be used to explain the various theories of deviance and examples of deviant behavior.

The article examines the topic of peer deviance and how it affects future deviant behavior across two cultures, the United States and Japan. Through the social learning theory, the article explores the cultural variability in avoiding risk and how this predicts future crimes. The article uses recent studies to demonstrate how youths in different cultures cope with risk in which risk aversion was found to be more associated with the Japanese youth that with the youth in the United States. The examination of how early youth experiences affect future deviant behavior is interesting as it shows that strategies can be developed early to help the youth avoid engaging in risky behaviors. The issue, nevertheless, is that culture also plays a role in shaping youth behavior. The use of social learning theory to demonstrate the influence of specific groups on behavior is also useful in the current study and will be used to highlight the diversity of deviant behavior. The information from the article will be used in sections about the causes of cultural differences in deviant behavior.

The article examines the features of modern dating associations and cultural differences in the nature of these relationships by focusing on deviant dating behaviors. Through comparing the United States and Poland, the article examines how young adults in these countries depict deviant behavior. Deviant behavior is defined by the specific society in which it occurs. Examining the topic in two different and distinct cultures offers a wider view of the topic and the differences that exist between cultures. The article particularly focuses on relational aggression, which also contributes to an extra type of deviant behavior. The article is also well organized, uses recent studies to support its arguments, and deeply examines modern relationships and the associated behaviors among young adults including the role of socially interactive technology. It also compares the virtual and real-world concerning deviant behavior. The use of a large sample and surveys to collect data and descriptive statistics to analyze data also adds to the reliability of the article. The article will be used in the section about the different types of deviant behavior and the cultural differences concerning the topic.

The article examines the effect of deviance on mental health and well-being based on the psychological, biological, and sociological views. Using theories from these three disciplines, the article examines the basis of deviant behavior from childhood to old age and the relativity of deviant behavior based on the person and society. The article also demonstrates that the effect of deviance on mental health and well-being is based on the related culture and society. The article offers another perspective of deviant that helps in understanding how different societies label deviant behavior and the associated mental issues that emerge. It also offers recommendations on how to deal with the sources of deviant behavior to avoid its detrimental effect on mental health. The information from the article will be used to support arguments regarding the diversity of deviant behaviors and the effects of deviant behaviors on mental health.

The chapter examines the different categories of deviant behavior. They are tolerable, acceptable, and positive deviance. The chapter shows that these categories are used to explain the different levels of deviant behaviors in different communities. It also shows the diversity of deviant behaviors in which different societies consider different behaviors to be either positive, acceptable or tolerable. Using examples and comparison, the chapter also demonstrates how the changing trends influence the categorization of deviant behaviors and how these behaviors shift from one category to another based on the trends. The description depicts the uncertain nature of deviant behavior across cultures and will be used to support arguments about how deviant behavior changes over time, why people engage in different deviant behaviors, and how existing trends influence the categorization of behavior as deviant or not.

The articles examine the relationship between routine activities and deviant behaviors in 28 countries. Through the use of the routine activities framework, the article attempts to explain how the physical and social factors and their associated activities help explain deviant behaviors in different cultures. The article raises the issue of the importance of encouraging the youth to participate in structured activities such as religious activities, neighborhood youth activities, and sports as a way of preventing them from engaging in deviant behavior. The article also demonstrates that different social factors interact to cause deviant behavior. Through a literature review, the article examines the development and the evolution of the routine activities model and its explanation of deviant behavior. The information about the effect of routine activities on deviant behavior will be used to support arguments regarding strategies that can be used to prevent deviant behaviors among the youth and about the diversity of deviant behavior across cultures including the related mitigation approaches.
