The term that the definition refers to is impeachment. Impeachment is usually done by a legislative body, who will charge an elected government official with a crime. When someone is impeached, the legislative body of the government would run a vote that would determine whether the individual would be removed from office or not.

Some recent cases where head of governments were impeached in their country, was in South Korea, where former President Park Geun-hye was impeached and imprisoned for 24 years due to influence peddling; and in Brazil, where former President Dilma Roussef was impeached due to administrative misconduct and disregard of federal budget.

In labeling theory, what is the difference between primary and secondary deviance?
Bingel [31]

Answer:

a. Secondary deviance is an eventual effect of primary deviance, where deviance begins.

Explanation:

In labelling theory, primary and secondary deviance are distinguished from each other. Primary deviance is considered to be the initial manifestation of deviance, while secondary deviance is considered the effect of primary deviance. These are also different in the way they are recognized. Primary deviance consists of deviant acts before they are publicly labelled, while secondary deviance occurs after diagnosis and labelling, and is often a reaction to the labelling itself.
