Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Secondary deviance refers to the deviant behavior that occurs in response to being labeled as deviant by significant others or social control agents. It is a result of the negative label being attached to an individual, which leads to further deviant behavior and self-identification as a deviant. Primary deviance, on the other hand, refers to the initial act of deviance before any labels have been applied. Covert and overt deviance refer to the degree to which the deviant behavior is visible or hidden from society.
