Answer to Question 1

When deviance is defined as resulting from illness, either mental or physical, instead of a lack of morals or other deficit, the person engaged in the behavior is more likely to receive treatment and sympathy than to be punished.

Answer to Question 2

Labeling theory is primarily concerned with the process by which labels such as deviant come to be attached to specific people and behaviors.
