Edward Lemert

Sociologist Edward Lemert differentiated between Primary and Secondary Deviance.

The difference in Primary and Secondary Deviance is the reaction recieved from the society to the deviant.

Primary Deviance

  • When a deviant recieves little reaction from society
  • Ex: a minor that smokes cigarettes isn't frowned upon by her peer group because the group smokes together, but underaged smoking is still a deviant behavior.
  • smoking doesn't really have a bad consequence

Edward Lemert: Primary & Secondary Deviance

Secondary Deviance

  • this happens when the deviant gets negative sanctions from society
  • Ex: underaged smoker is frowned upon by her peer group; they make fun of her and call her out of her name. this makes the girl kind of feel unworthy and she starts smoking more than she did before
