primary and secondary deviance
- primary and secondary deviance
Introduced by Edwin Lemert in his
Social Pathology (1951), the distinction is central to
labelling theory. Primary deviance refers to differentiation which is relatively insignificant, marginal, and fleeting; secondary deviance is pivotal, central, and engulfing. The mechanism by which marginal
deviance and casual rule-breaking becomes more central depends upon labelling or the societal reaction.
