Medicalization of Deviance
The Medicalization of Deviance is having a medical reason to perform deviant acts. I do understand that a lot of people do things because they have severe mental illnesses, but I also think people possibly can plead mentally insane when they may not be. It goes both ways, I think it is an interesting topic. Looking at crimes done by people who plead insanity would be interesting. I saw in the news when that man shot up that movie theater, then pleading insanity, I read about everyone knowing he was very sick and antisocial, but he was apparently rational. That is just one side/story to it though.

I really like this topic. It was a creative point
ReplyDeleteI agree that some people abuse mental illness just to get out of going to jail. I really like how you did some research about when people have abused mental illness and insanity instead of realizing their crime.
ReplyDeleteI also believe that people can sometimes hide behind mental illness as a reason for why they act a certain way
ReplyDeleteI like the in depth analysis of the example I used in class.
