Functionalists and Crime Deviance for functionalists is looked at from a social point of view rather than biological or natural trait of an individual. Deviancy is still essential for society and its well being.

Durkheim : 'Crime is an integral part of society.'

Individuals exposed to different influences= not all be committed to shred values and beliefs of society

Crime can be functional: social change begins with deviancy.

Yesterday's deviance must become tomorrow's normality= change occurs.

AT THE SAME TIME TOO MUCH CRIM=RED FLAG
