“Once a Delinquent, Always a Delinquent”
Using what youve learned this week, respond to the following prompts in your post:
The labeling theory emphasizes the significance of societys
response to the criminal, and points to the process through which a
person is defined as a criminal as a significant contributory factor in
determining future criminality. Using the Internet, examine the career
and life of an entertainer that is frequently in the spotlight due to
deviant or criminal behavior. (For example, Miles Teller, Robert Downey,
Jr., Travis Scott, Chris Soules, Chief Keef, Soulja Boy, Justin Bieber,
R. Kelly.) Next, discuss labeling theory and social process theory as
it applies to your chosen entertainer. Provide examples that support
your response.
Some criminologists believe that a person is born a criminal. If
this was true what should our society do with the born criminal?
Justify your response.
