Labeling theory takes the view that people become criminals when labeled as such and when they accept the label. labeling theory is one of the most important approaches to understanding deviant and criminal behavior. It begins with the assumption that no act is intrinsically criminal. Definitions of criminality are established by those in power through the formulation of laws and the interpretation of those laws by police, courts, and correctional. Labeling theory is one of the most important approaches to understanding deviant and criminal behavior within sociology. It begins with the assumption that no act is intrinsically criminal. Instead, definitions of criminality are established by those in power through the formulation of laws and the interpretation of those laws by police, courts, and correctional institutions. Labeling theory makes two general claims (1) the experience of negative social labels, such as deviant, delinquent, or criminal, leads to future deviant behavior (becker, 1991 lemert, 1951) and (2) those more likely to be labeled are those with less power and prestige (paternoster &.). More pupils are displaying abnormal behavior and thus destabilizing learning processes within school settings. A persons public labeling as a deviant greatly affects opportunity for jobs or acceptance. Although two people may have different master statuses, their deviant behavior may cause them to be treated similarly, socially speaking. It may also cause them to be treated differently because of their master statuses. deviant behavior is conduct that deviates from the societal norm. By this definition alone, deviance is neither good nor bad, but must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
