Answer 1

Answer: Option (B). tend to be one and the same; if something is a crime, it is always deviant.

Explanation: Crime and deviance are related, They however represent the same action, because deviance is any act that violates the norms, folkways, mores or laws, while if the deviance that is committed breaks the law , it is a crime in that case. Almost every comprehensive treatment of deviant behavior, regardless of the definition used, includes a subsection on criminal acts that are also deviant.
