Crime and deviance are phenomena deeply embedded in the fabric of society, reflecting and challenging prevailing social norms and values. This review article delves into the sociological exploration of crime and deviance, examining the dynamic interplay between individual behavior, social structures, and cultural contexts. Drawing on theoretical perspectives and empirical research, it explores how social norms shape definitions of deviance, the enforcement of laws, and responses to criminal behavior. By unraveling the complexities of crime and deviance through a sociological lens, this article sheds light on the underlying social processes and power dynamics that underpin these phenomena.
