All of the concepts listed above (labelling, tagging, stigmatization, and dramatization of evil) can be applied to the process by which an individual is caught at deviance and then becomes excluded from mainstream social life. Labelling and tagging refer to the act of attaching a specific negative label or title to an individual who has been caught engaging in deviant behavior. Stigmatization refers to the societal reaction to the deviant behavior, in which the individual is seen in a negative light and excluded from mainstream social activities. Dramatization of evil refers to the way in which deviant behavior is often portrayed in the media, further reinforcing negative societal reactions to the behavior and the individual who engaged in it.
