STEP 1:<\/strong> Find a current article about a crime that has been committed within the past three weeks. Look for language within the article that lends itself to a sociological explanation of the deviant behavior using one or more of the theories of deviance. You should not Google \u201ccrime\u201d or \u201cdeviance\u201d to find a current events article related to crime and deviance; rather, check reputable online news sources or an actual article about a crime or deviant behavior.
