Primary deviance refers to the initial act of violating a social norm, which may not necessarily result in being labeled as deviant. If the violator is not caught or excused, they may not face any further consequences or social labeling. Secondary deviance, on the other hand, refers to the subsequent deviant behavior that results from being labeled as deviant. Causality refers to the relationship between cause and effect, and scapegoating refers to blaming an individual or group for problems or issues in society without evidence.
