Taylor et al aim to create 'fully social theory of deviance'. 2 main sources:
- M ideas about uneq distribution of wealth + who has power to make + enforce law
- Interactionist + labelling ideas about meaning of deviant act for actor, societal reactions to it, + effects of deviant label on individual.
This view, complete theory of deviance needs to unite 6 aspects:
- wider origins of deviant act
- immediate origins of deviant act
- act itself
- immediate origins of societal reaction
- wider origins of societal reaction
- effects of labelling
6 aspects interrelated + need to be understood together as part of unified theory.
