How do the three perspectives (functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism) apply to deviance?

Question

The subject is sociology.

Answer 1

Functionalism-if there was no crime to fight, there wouldn't be a need for policemen, firemen, hospitals, doctors, basically people to constantly fix the deviance that keeps them paid.

Conflict Theory-The deviant people are obviously acting out on a society that is oppressing them so they continue to act deviantly until change happens.

Symbolic Interactionism-The deviants want others to think they are bad or tough maybe as a way to gain respect from others.
