DEVIANT BEHAVIOR IN RELATION TO THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVE 2

Deviant behavior in relation to the theoretical perspective.

victims had not immediate help because their handsets were already taken away from them and

rendered helpless after being shot in their legs. The criminals also took away with the family car

worth thousands of dollars. Armed robbery is one of the worst acts of deviance. The latter is

robbers gave instructions to the family members. We immediately realized that our neighbor

could have been attacked and rang to the other neighbors in the estate. We gathered around our
