                              1. Criminal- arise from access to deviant subcultures
                                1. Conflict- attract those with violent attributes
                                  1. Retreatist- attract those not inclined to violence but want to withdraw from society
                                  2. Drift Theory
                                    1. Cross into deviant subcultures occurs gradually from deviance to legitmacy

                                      2. Labeling Theory
                                        1. Those caught during deviance are branded as a deviant
                                          1. "A deviant is one whom the label has been applied; deviant behavior is behavior people so label"
                                          2. Control Theory of Delinquency

                                                      1. Deviant behavior is socially learned from friends/family
                                                        1. Criminal and non-criminal behavior express same needs/values

                                                                1. Less membership into society for those that fail to conform
                                                                2. Types of Individual Adaptation
