Primary and secondary deviance

Primary deviance is engaging in the initial act of deviance

Primary acts of deviance are common in everyone, however, these are rarely thought of as
criminal acts.

Secondary deviance is the process of a deviant identity, integrating it into conceptions of self,
potentially affecting the individual long term.

Secondary deviance is much more likely to be considered as criminal in a social context. The act is
likely to be labelled as deviant and criminal, which can have the effect of an individual
internalizing that label and acting out accordingly.
