Het etiketteerperspectief bij de sociologische studie van afwijkend gedrag
Abstract
The labelling perspective in the sociology of deviant behaviour. This article is an attempt to analyse the theoretical bases and social contexts of the labelling paradigm. The authors scrutinize the contributions made by Becker and Lemert. The analysis makes it clear that in this paradigm the focus of research is placed on the social environment of the ‘deviant’ person. The authors stress the fact that the relationship between the individual and society can however take various forms. This makes it’s validity contingent on the specific form of the relationship between the individual and society. Therefore, the paradigm has to be complemented by other theories. In order to complete the study of deviant behaviour the authors accentuate the points of convergence and divergence between the labelling paradigm on the one hand and functionalism, phenomenological research of deviancy and conflict oriented theories on the other hand.
