The television series I selected is Law and Order SVU. In this particular episode they talk about the killing of Trayvon Martin and also the lawsuit against Paula Deen this episode is about race and ethnicity. This episode is about a famous southern chef who shoots a black unharmed wearing a hood. It just turns out the young man was a fun of her work and wanted a autograph but because she doesn’t like African American people , and she claims she felt treated by him. Also in episode she says “ you think just because you caught a black rapist , that he is the only one?”. She also said to a detective from Georgia that “down here” she would be getting a medal. This has to do with race because the chef shot the black because deep she disliked …show more content…

He got shot by three officers who thought he was pulling for a weapon but it was never found. Later in the episode they stated that young man innocent. According to the episode if they had waited a little longer they would have realized that he was unarmed. Two of the officers were charged with manslaughter one a the other officer was charged with reckless endangerment. This has to do with race and ethnicity because a African American men was shot just for running and was continuously shot while he was trying to put his hands up. Lastly another episode 23 season 18 hate crime against a Muslims the episode opens with three men committing rape and murder while robbing a family owned Syrian restaurant. The women that witnessed this is being force to deport because she is Muslim. This has to do race and ethnicity because it shows how because of lady race she has to be sent back so she can’t testify against her …show more content…

For example episode 11 when a guy named Jason Robert physically attacks a girl named Megan in front of an audience , he behavior is considered deviance because he harms another person. Attacking another person and stalking is prime example that he is different from most people. Another example is episode season 15 episode 10 when detective Benson attacked and kidnapped by a murder. This broke into her apartment and held her captive for four days where he would tie her up and make her watch as he did unspeakable things to another. His behavior would be considered as deviance because what he does is unsocial and it violates what is considered normal in today’s society.
Lastly another example is season 6 episode 12 where investigation of a gang member that fell off the roof of a building leads to an investigation, but later in the episode to turns into a tale about the twins (one girl and one boy ). We later learn that girl of the twins was born a male but raised as a female a botched circumcision. The twins were also abused by their sex therapist for years . This is considered deviance because this something that you would want your kids to know especially when it has to do with them and also because of the sex therapist actions towards the

Deviant Behavior In my view, prostitution, pornography, and gambling are deviant behaviors. The three issues are undesirable and socially disruptive in the eyes of other people within the community. That is, many individuals perceive them as unethical acts, which goes against the social norms. Furthermore, the perpetrators of these activities also find themselves disturbed, and they feel unhappily disadvantaged.

Deviant acts take many different forms often depending on the person committing the act, the people who witness it, the setting of the act, and the circumstances surrounding it, among many other factors. There are many approaches that people in order to convince themselves that they are not deviant. In the same sense, there are many ways that criminals escape being labeled deviant by others. Chambliss (1972) follows two groups of high school boys, the Saints and the Roughnecks. Both groups are involved in very deviant acts, although the Saints tend to avoid most trouble and are not viewed poorly by the community while the Roughnecks are constantly in trouble and have developed a poor image of themselves within the community.

In the weeks after the hate crime, the kidnapping and murder trial of Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam began. At the time, blacks and women were rejected from serving jury duty, the two men were tried before an all-white male jury (The Murder of Emmett Till.). Despite the overwhelming amounts of evidence and witness reports, the panel of jurors acquitted Bryant and Milam of all charges after a little over an hour of deliberation. Emmett Till’s murder had then become a source of total outrage across the country. Instead of murdering a young boy, who had his entire future ahead of him, the individuals involved could have easily called authorities and had the right amount of justice be served.

Deviance is categorized as a violation of cultural norms. In order for one to express deviance, they must act out against societal norms which are known as expectations and rules that "lead the way" for how an individual should act. Therefore, its much easier to depict from there that mostly one's society is what ultimately differentiates what the rules and expectations are as well as what it needed to break those rules that they have somewhat instilled and ingrained into our daily lives. To add, due to society and different eras of socialization deviant behavior evolves over time.

When we look at specific characters such as Kevin, the radio host for the sister town of Night Vale, Desert Bluffs, we see that his deviance is more based on immoral behaviors, but we also see that Kevin's character faces another stigma just through his appearance. For example when he smiles other characters such as Cecil react in ways such as "He must be wicked, this man" (Fink and Cranor 190). Another instance where Kevin's smile is seen as deviant is towards the climax of the series where he smiles and in reaction Cecil says "You monster" and Steve Carlsberg says "That was really gross . . ." (Fink and Cranor 262). In other instances we see deviance as a norm violation when looking at Steve Carlsberg in episode 53: September Monologues.
