Kind of deviance theories are psychological explanations, social-strain typology, structural functionalism, conflict theory and labeling theory.
Structural functionalism is used deviance as a criterion for discerning the correct behavior and inappropriate behavior.

Opinion:
This material was very interesting to me.
Although there are many deviance in the world, excessive deviance like crime should disappear.
Among the various theories, the theory that I was most empathy is conflict theory.
Question:
Among the theory about deviance what do you think is the best theory to explain the causes of the deviation? And what is the reason?
