Lehmert 1951 Effects of Labelling

• Lehmert 1951
• Primary Deviance: refers to deviant acts that have not been publicly labelled
• Master Status: the status gained after committing a publicly labelled crime that others only see by causing a crisis in the person's identity -ensuring that the person accepts this overarching label. This causes a self-fulfilling prophecy causing secondary deviance. 
• Secondary Deviance: Deviant behaviour that results from being labelled as a deviant by society. 
• Deviant Career: The ‘outsider’ status becomes internalised causing the individual to pursue a deviant career 
• Control Culture: Young 1971 - the hostile reaction to hippy marijuana use caused the control culture (police etc) to label them as deviant resulting in them becoming a part of a closed culture. 
• Triplett 2000: decrease in tolerance for minor young offenders due to re-labelled status offences like truancy causing music higher sentences. Caused Secondary Deviance (Lemert 1951) leading to an increase rather than a decrease in crime. 
• Dehann 2000: Notes similar (Triplett) rise in crime due to relabelled offences.
