Answer 1

Answer:

Labeling theory                                                          

Explanation:

Labeling theory: In sociology, the term labeling theory was originated with the work of Howard Becker during the 1960s. It is defined as the phenomenon that describes the reason behind an individual's behavior which clashes with social norms. It depends on the deviant view that explains that if an individual is being labeled as deviant then it will cause them to behave in a deviant manner. The theory states that not a single behavior of an individual is inherently deviant

Example: An individual who drives faster than the desired speed limit, or robs a store or bank.
