Durkheim's Theory Of Deviance
Deviance is referred to the breaking or breaching of social norms or some formally enacted rules like underage drinking, breaking a traffic signal, cheating an exam or driving faster than the speed limit are all examples of deviance.
The reason behind Durkheim’s claim is that he believes in creating deviants in the society because he thinks that any wrong idea also has a right one in contrast so you need to tell the society about the wrong one in order to give them an idea of the right one. For instance drinking in public is a deviance which gives us an idea that we should drink somewhere isolated. There is no good without a bad as our conscience is created. People learn what is right and what is wrong through deviants and they define people
