Deviance (sociology)
The article is missing a lot of information, on the talk page they have certain requests that we had already noticed needed more direction. There also needs to be some cleanup done with the sub-headings and how the information is structured. I plan to expand the information on types of deviance.

Edit
The types of deviance in the article, seem to have the information all over the place, and i plan to redefine and restructure it. I plan on moving the Types of deviance from Merton's theory to the actual subheading "Types" When talking about theories, i feel the types aren't necessary to include there. Merton's strain theory categorizes people under their goals and institutionalized means.

Also adding the main two types of deviance:

Informal deviance are actions that go against social norms. Formal deviance are actions that violate laws.

I mostly want to rearrange the order as of now so i can continue to expand, or take out necessary information.
