Which of the explanations for deviance discussed (biological, labeling theory, Durkheim’s theory, strain theory) do you think best explains deviance? Why?

Actually this is a very serious question, and there is no definite answer to it, however, each of the explanations explains deviance in different ways, I would say that the biological explanation explains it the worst, because It’s explains deviance to be a process an individual deviates from social norms largely because of their biological makeup. But personally, I do not think that genetic makeup has much to do with deviance.

Secondly, I thought that the labeling theory was interesting, it explains that people become deviant not because of the act itself, but how people react to that act. The best explanation to choose is Durkheim’s Theory of Deviance, because he explains why deviance is important in our society which gave insight. Durkheim explains that deviance was in fact a normal and necessary part of social organization.
