Answer:
The Conflict Perspective on Deviance
Conflict theories emphasize the social, political, or material inequality of a social group, that critique the broad socio-political system.
Key Points
In conflict theory, deviant behaviors are actions that do not go along with the social institutions.
Marx himself did not write about deviant behavior, but he wrote about alienation amongst the proletariat, as well as between the proletariat and the finished product, which causes conflict and, thus, deviant behavior.
Marx used the term ” lumpenproletariat ” to describe that layer of the working class which is unlikely to ever achieve class consciousness.
