Answer to Question 1

Males and blacks are considerably more likely to be victims of crime. Black males are eight times more likely to be the victims of homicide than white males, and black females are four times more likely to be victims than white females. For some crimes, such as robbery and larceny, poorer households were more likely to be victimized, whereas the affluent were more likely to experience auto theft. Offenders are often the victims of other criminals.

Answer to Question 2

According to labeling theory, the violation of social norms in which a person is not caught or is excused rather than labeled as a deviant is known as primary deviance. Secondary or career deviance is the deviant behavior that a person adopts in response to the reaction of others to his or her primary deviance.
