    DEVIANT BEHAVIORS

    Four Basic Ways in Dealing with Deviant Behavior


    1. Deterrence
    • commonly known as punishment, providing a
    negative consequence to a particular deviant
    action to discourage people from doing the
    deviant action.
    • members of society who support deterrence
    believe that people will not commit a crime if the
    punishment is too great.

    2. Retribution
    • punishment by which society makes the offender
    suffer as much as the suffering caused by the
    crime.
    • known classically as the “eye for an eye concept”
    is the idea that when someone hurts someone
    else in some way, the victim has the right to hurt
    the attacker in return via the same method.
    3. Incapacitation
    • placing people in jail or prison.
    • the idea is to protect the rest of society by
    preventing the criminal from committing more
    crimes.

    4. Rehabilitation
    • to change criminals such that when they reenter
    the community from which they came, they live a
    life that follows all the society’s norms and laws,
    and no longer engage in deviant behavior.

    COMPULSIVE SEXUAL BEHAVIORS


    • sometimes called hypersexuality, hypersexuality
    disorder or sexual addiction.
    • excessive preoccupation with sexual fantasies,
    urges or behaviors that is difficult to control,
    causes you distress, or negatively affects your
    health, job, relationships or other parts of your
    life.
    • involve a variety of commonly enjoyable sexual
    experiences such as masturbation, cybersex,
    multiple sexual partners, use of pornography or
    paying for sex.
    • when these sexual behaviors become a major
    focus in your life, are difficult to control, and are
    disruptive or harmful to you or others.
    Compulsive sexual behavior can have many negative
    consequences that affect both you and others. You
    may:
    • Struggle with feelings of guilt, shame and low
    self-esteem
    • Develop other mental health conditions, such as
    depression, suicide, severe distress and anxiety
    • Neglect or lie to your partner and family, harming
    or destroying meaningful relationships
    • Lose your focus or engage in sexual activity or
    search internet pornography at work, risking your
    job
    • Accumulate financial debts buying pornography
    and sexual services
    • Contract HIV, hepatitis or another sexually
    transmitted infection or pass a sexually
    transmitted infection to someone else
    • Engage in unhealthy substance use, such as
    using recreational drugs or drinking excessive
    alcohol
    • Be arrested for sexual offenses
    Treatments include medications, psychotherapy and
    self-help support groups.
