According to Edwin Lemert, how does labeling cause deviance?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: [key points to be made]
*First an initial act or primary deviance occurs
*Society reacts to the primary deviance and may watch the person more closely and single the person out for more scrutiny
*If the person does something else perceived of as deviant, society quickly uses label, enforces their prior perception of the person as needing watching
*Person may react negatively to the label and internalize the perception that she or he is bad, deviant.
*Secondary deviance is a result, further lawbreaking or deviance results from the person fulfilling the expectations of others that they are bad
