The labeling perspective assumes that rule enforcement is situational and varies based on individual and social factors, and that rule-breaking is not inherently deviant but rather subject to social labeling and response. However, it does not assume that rule enforcement is consistent, as different individuals or groups may be subject to different levels of enforcement or response.
