Think critically about the sociological theories of deviance, the various forms of social control, and the U.S. Criminal Justice System among other themes presented:

Discuss how sociologists view, analyze, and explain the concept of deviance.

1. Without revealing too much personal information, what sanctions (both positive and/or negative have you experienced and for what actions?)  Explain if the sanctions are effective or not, and why.
2. Identify some of the problems that in your opinion, currently exist with the criminal justice system in the United States. Choose at least one of the problems that you have identified and at least one sociological theory/perspective from the chapter discussion that explains why this problem exists.  You can address more than one problem but must discuss at least one.
3. Post a response to another classmate's post, discussing your thoughts on their post respectfully and thoughtfully. What stood out to you about their analysis?
