Crime is "Human conduct that violates the criminal laws of a state, the federal government, or a local jurisdiction that has the power to make and enforce the laws." Whereas Deviance is defined as "Human activity that violates social norms. Some forms of deviance are not violations of

criminal law, meaning there is no statute against it. Deviance and crime can overlap but they are not always equal. For this chapter assignment, you will need to provide an argument for two things. First, something that is only considered deviant but you think should be considered a crime, and second something that is criminal but should only be considered deviant. Use examples to support your discussion.
