Crime and Deviance
Abnormal behavior, dangerous, bizarre behavior etc… is considered deviant behavior. Deviant behavior is outside of normal societal toleration when it comes to the law. There are many subcultures that exist that support deviant behavior.
Who defines deviance? It can change over time, place or simply the people you are around. Laws are made by law makers and government.
Societies protect their values by setting standards for what it and what is not acceptable. They are constantly evolving for the growth of a culture.
In society we have norms. Norms are unwritten modes of action in society. Some norms are based on tradition, customs and culture just to name a few. Some norms are based on our moral judgment. Some norms are based on the laws that drive our lives.
Deviance violate group expectation and crime is an act that violates the law.
We as a people/government decides what is a crime and what is not a crime. Acts that are bad because they have been prohibited are mala prohibita. Acts that are bad in themselves are mala in se.

hi blockgators , nice post . i sent you 0.2 yesterday but no upvote.... is this a manual bot or an automated ? thanks
Yes. It is done manually
Im getting 0.02 upvote per post from you. Can i please give my monthly service up vote from you to @gamainvegas? I wont come close to even making 1/4 of the money invested into your service. Id rather donate it to someone that needs it. Please @blockgators
You could get it back if you posted 17 times a day... It's probably best for dmania posters or something.
Theres is a math formula going off my monthly postings and weekly posting averages obviously which dont match up. Really fustrating @blockgators is not responding or even gave a warning. I understand the % but not his lack of response for 2 days. Its discouraging me from using the service in the future when my monthly posting average is low or donating 5 sbds to less well off minnows who might beneifit.
I'd be very annoyed by the lack of response too. I'd understand if he said no for w/e reasons, but he should at least reply.
Its annoying. Cant tell if his page is all automatic. But oh well it is what it is.
