Chunk 1: Introduction Question 1: How clearly established is the ‘thin line’ (top of page 8) that separates the ordinary from the

deviant realms? What is/are the force(s) that maintain this thin line?

Question 2:

Chunk 2: Defining Deviance Question 1: If the negative reactions elicited by deviant behavior serve as a force of “social control” (midway

page 9), are these social controls more effective and/or desirable than overt/force-driven social control mechanisms? In what types of situations are the reactions as social control more effective as social control (think contemporary and historically)?

Question 2:

Chunk 3: Issues in the Definition: Objectivism/Subjectivism Question 1: On the top of page 11, the author quotes Erickson and Becker saying, “deviance from one vantage

point could well be conformity from another.” Rephrase this quote in your own words and give examples that support it.

Question 2:

Chunk 4: Issues in the Definition: Deviance/Rarity Question 1: On page 11, the author suggests there is a “certain intuitive appeal” in the connection of the rarity

of an act and labeling that act as deviant. Explain this intuitive appeal and what might be the source of it.

Question 2:

Chunk 5: Issues in the Definition: Deviance/Crime Question 1: What are the consequences (positive, negative, neutral) in adopting the approach of “a few” who

include “virtually any socially harmful activity” in their definition of crime, using as a foundation the idea that “human rights and human justice” are “socially and not legally defined”?

Question 2:

Chunk 6: Issues in the Definition: Voluntary/Involuntary Question 1: What are the consequences (positive, negative, neutral) of removing or limiting the responsibility

of someone for their actions? Does this compromise their agency, and thus worth, within the larger society and with respect to their value as an individual?

Question 2:

Chunk 7: Social Context Question 1: If there is such significant lack of consensus over certain issues in a country like Canada, how do we

negotiate the differences of interpretation of deviant/non-deviant actors and behaviours, both formally and informally?

Question 2:

Chunk 8: Criminal Law: Politicality Question 1: For our evolving society, which is the most appropriate- the consensus or the conflict approach to

the purpose of law?

Question 2:

Chunk 9: Criminal Law: Specificity Question 1:Is it your impression that the Canadian system of law favours the crime control purpose while the

American system favours due process? What evidence can you present that both confirms and challenges this contention. Note: Consider the year of the source supporting this statement.

Question 2:

Chunk 10: Criminal Law: Uniformity Question 1: Is it reasonable to operate under the idea that “decisions made by criminal-justice personnel” can

be made “solely on the basis of legal factors…” (top of page 22)? Present evidence that both challenges and confirms that this a) occurs and/or b) is reasonable.

Question 2:

Chunk 11: Criminal Law: Penal Sanctions Question 1: Why has restitution been separated from other elements of the punishment? What are the

consequences (positive, negative, neutral) of this?

Question 2:

Chunk 12: Elements of Criminal Law Question 1: Why are intent and motive different? Does this separation assist in clarifying decisions of

responsibility/degree of punishment or, does it muddy the waters?

Question 2:

Chunk 13: Defenses Question 1: Rank the available defenses on a scale/spectrum of your choosing. Explain the points of reference

used to establish position on the scale/spectrum and why each defense falls where it does.
