The following information is about Labeling Theory.
Labeling Theory Defined
A social theory that holds that society's reaction to certain behaviors is a major factor in defining the self as deviant. People become `deviant' because certain labels (thief, prostitute, homosexual) are attached to their behavior by criminal justice authorities and others. The resulting treatment of the individual pushes them into performing the deviant role. Also called "societal reaction" theory.
This definition is in context to Sociology. See more contextual defintions for Labeling Theory.
