deviance and crime

1. http://www.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/04/01/alabama.police.beating/index.html?iref=allsearch
this is a newspaper article on how police overuse there power with brutality
2.   this is showing how corporate crime can get away with mostly anything due to the criminal justice system. 
3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnL0iwT-1bE  
is an example on how people are getting miss-treated by deviant judgments. 
4. #1- http://deviance.socprobs.net/Unit_1/Page_1.htm  
this shows the different categories the people determine who is deviant or not in society. is also puts a perspective on reality show that all people weren't supposed to have the same values, beliefs, and views it is ok to be different.  
5. poem-

The institutions of the Criminal Justice system,
For years, holding innocent victims,
False convicted then freed 20 years later,
Because now DNA proves innocence,
They say incarceration is legal penalty,
so what’s the penalty for taking 20 years,
of an innocent man or woman’s life,
See, false imprisonment, political repression,
False enemies of the state, serving,
Maximum, medium and minimum sentences,
When the cell doors closes, they say,
Prison can reform someone, but studies prove,
Half of them come out worst than the point,
In which they went in, so what does this say,
Sometimes the punishment, just doesn’t fit,
But some still go up the river,
And some judges just abuse their power,
Playing the executioner, value of life,
Never taken into consideration, they say,
There are millions in prison, and just think,
Out of many, how many are falsely imprisoned,
And the real killers, rapist and child molesters,
Are still walking our streets today,
The institutions of the Criminal Justice system,
For years, is still holding innocent victims,
Weak evidence, and no proof, but just words,
That left them institutionalized and trapped in the system.

I found this chapter particular interesting because it measures crime with all the different forms of defiant people in a society. This is a line drawn when it comes to race, class, and gender. The criminal justice system passes judgment to certain social stigmas. Corporate crime is all around us but can never be taken down because people are too afraid to take a stand. But when it comes to organized crime nobody is hesitant not to say anything.
            A typical deviance behavior is on the violated the expected rules and norms. But deviance can be seen to rub of as institutional by it is a result of a group not just an individual.  This makes people more prone to become deviant due to the influence of a group because it is more likely to pick up on a daily basis.
