Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Primary deviance refers to minor, often initial, acts of deviance that do not result in the individual being labeled as a deviant by society. Martin's act of stealing a candy bar, especially if it's a one-time or minor offense and goes unnoticed, fits this category.
