I didn't know that deviance can separate in two type and crime is a type of deviance. Also, I learned that deviance can be studied with sociology.
3. Discussion point
If one person does deviance in culture which different with he has, and the act was illegal in the culture, he has to be punished? For example, in Korea, marijuana is unlawful things. But in some other nation, it is legal. If american used marijuana in Korea, he has to be punished? Or in other case; Korean used it in America, and then?
