When thinking about this assignment it was kind of difficult to come up with a type of behavior that is different from what others had picked and wasn't copying others.With the definition of deviant behavior being "behavior that violate cultural norm" it is hard to come up with behaviors. I found a site that had to deal with lock-picking and it explained the different ways of picking various locks as well as showing videos. The reason that the behavior is considered deviant is due to the fact that unless the person is a locksmith or is part of a law enforcement agency then it is considered wrong and is against the social norms. This site support the learning of how to pick locks as well as the giving out general information about locks.
I believe that the lock picking can be considered deviant but in many instances it can also be considered acceptable, such as if it is done to protect others that are locked inside places or to allow the law enforcement to search without damaging goods.
I agree with you Nick. I alonw would fine it pretty deviant I came home to find something trying to break into my apartment by attempting to pick the lock.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, if someone you knew wasn't a locksmith and they picked your lock becuase you locked yourself, the act would still be deviant becuase they are not professionals.
I definetely agree with you that lock- picking is a deviant behavior. It is outside of social norms and outside of what I personally would say is acce3ptable. I would also like to say good job at pivking a behavior that is outside something that others would use as their behavior. I must say this idea never crossed my mind!
ReplyDeleteInteresting..this could be useful info if you ever lock yourself out of the house!
