Gender and Race in the Theory of Deviant Type-Scripts
The theory of deviant type-scripts predicts that when historical and cross-cultural levels of male dominance are high, the ratio of female to male involvement in deviance will be low. Best and Luckenbill recently claim (1990) to have tested this prediction using 1980 data from the United States. Their findings did not support the theory, but rather, contradicted it. In this analysis, serious problems in Best and Luckenbill's use of aggregate stat…

The Social Psychology of Deviance: Toward a Reconciliation With Social Structure
The term intersectionality references the critical insight that race, class, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, nation, ability, and age operate not as unitary, mutually exclusive entities, but rather as reciprocally constructing phenomena. Despite this ...Read More
Race, Self-Evaluation and the Protestant Ethic
Many recent studies have indicated that blacks maintain higher self-esteem than whites; theoretical accounts of this finding, however, are insufficient. The present re-search extends the finding to a sample of two hundred twenty-five imprisoned black and white youths and suggests that not only the content, but the very process, of self-evaluation may be distributed by race. When levels of perceived effectiveness in goal attainment are held consta…
Sex and Theories of Deviance: Toward a Functional Theory of Deviant Type-Scripts
Given available evidence on official and hidden criminality, conceptual neglect of sex variable, not simply of women, is seen as having dire consequences for most contemporary criminal deviance paradigms and, consequently, as providing major failure of deviance theorizing in this century. The outlines of a new paradigm are introduced, the functional theory of deviant type-scripts, which suggest that everyday expectancies for deviance--which link …

[Letter from Joseph F. Sheley and Anthony R. Harris]
Race, Commitment to Deviance, and Spoiled Identity
Data generated by 234 young black and white inmates in 1971 challenge the assumption, widely held within the labeling perspective, that spoiled is a necessary, socially invariant outcome of deviant commitment and self-definition. The findings reveal that while for whites self-typing is significantly related to the spoiling of identity, as operationalized by a series of measures of psychological well-being; for blacks the relationship between such…
Imprisonment and the Expected Value of Criminal Choice: A Specification and Test of Aspects of the Labeling Perspective
A fundamental position of contemporary labeling theory is specified and examined: from the viewpoint of an actor publically defined as deviant, increased public intervention will increase the expected value of deviant behavioral choice. Questionnaires administered to 234 black and white inmates in a prison for youthful offenders provide the basis for examining this position in the context of criminal choice, the expected value of criminal choice,…
