deviance and race

In general, social scientists approach the concepts of deviance and race as socially constructed categories that are superficially imposed to categorize, differentiate, and construct certain social groups as “others.” Deviance describes actions or beliefs that violate social norms, which often result in punishment or stigmatization in a variety of social contexts. Race is also understood, in the social sciences, to be a socially constructed category based on physical or biological characteristics that members of society come to define as significant.
