Hey Erica! i think you're off to a great start I like that you're going to include the root factors of primary deviance like family history and childhood influences. That way you are incorporating the sociological factors that can lead to this. I think you could divide the childhood influences and family history into sections like: socio-economic status, different cultures, customs, etc and how that is involved with primary deviance, while also focusing on the labeling theory and subcultural strain theory.

Example of Primary Deviance
A perfect case of a person who was labeled as Deviant and thoroughly lived up to this label was the infamous murderer Charles Manson. Manson was the product of a child born out of wedlock to a 16 year old harlot named Kathleen Maddox on November 12th, 1934 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Manson's Father, Colonel Scott married another woman and left Manson's mother to raise him alone. When Charles was just seven years old, he was sent to live with his Religious Aunt and Uncle in McMechen, West Virginia after his mother was sentenced to 5 years in prison after being convicted of Strong Armed Robbery. Living with his Aunt and Uncle, Manson was afforded a life that would allow him to be a positive contributor to society. However, the absence of his mother and the yearning he had for that motherly love and affection caused Manson to indulge in primary deviant behavior at a young age, which ultimately manifested into secondary deviance as he became older.

Following the counsel of one of his Uncle's a mountain man who lived in the Mountains of Kentucky, Manson labeled himself a Rebel. Manson's first act of Deviancy began at the age of 9 years old when he set his school on fire.

Additions to Primary Deviance
The article I selected was Primary Deviance. I plan to contribute several items to this article. There are several factors that contribute to Deviancy. I truly believe that Deviancy doesn't just happen out of nowhere, it starts somewhere and i believe in begins at an early age. There are several contributors such as family history, childhood influences through siblings and peers, music; etc; that has allowed someone to develop this deviant behavior beginning from childhood into their adult lives. I also plan to discuss the labeling theory. This theory, I believe has a great influence on those who are now considered to be deviants and are labeled as such from a very young age. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ecook002 (talk • contribs) 01:32, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

Prof Garcia's Comments
You're off to a nice start, Erica, but you still have a lot more research to do on primary deviance! Maybe one idea is to look at the classic studies in the field and detail them in sections. Or look up some of the recent work on primary deviance. Did you ever get the page back? I remember you saying that somehow the whole page was deleted? Alfgarciamora (talk) 16:45, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
