Question

Psychology

Sociologists argue that deviance is largely a product of socialinequality, where the actions of working and lower class people aremore likely to be labeled deviant and punished than the actions ofmiddle and upper class people. Can you think of recent examplesthat support this difference? Can you think of any examples thatcontradict this idea, where an upper-class person was punished moreharshly for a crime? Is there a way that we could change thisrelationship, and make sure that punishments are equal to thecrimes rather than the people who commit the crimes?
