Labeling theory deals with the phenomenon of signs imposed by society, when viewed as adolescents, these labels can be imposed by the influence of peers. Labeling theorists emphasize that no human behavior is inherently deviant. It's about the influence that peers have on the delinquent, where the labels imposed by peers are far less powerful than those that are imposed by formal social control. Most children commit some form of deviant behavior, if these are the initial forms of deviant behavior, according to labeling theory this is a primary deviance. There is also a secondary deviance, which is a phase in the theory of deviant identity formation, integrating it into the concept of self, which is being upgraded in the long run. In other words, some forms of deviant behavior will lead to more severe forms of deviant behavior. Usually secondary deviance refers to perpetrators who are already known for it.
