Deviance=Saints and Roughnecks at Stevenson
In the study of saints and roughnecks deviance must be perceived to be in order to be considered deviant. We have many groups of saints and roughnecks at our school. They're are that group of wealthy, dressed well kids who drink do drugs steal and the list goes on. Yet they have so much money and are well dressed they look like good kids you would never think were committing illegal acts. So many kids at this school also buy there way out of trouble. When they do get busted they buy a lawyer and get the smallest punishment imaginable. There are also roughnecks in this school. The roughnecks might not be poor but they dress in more baggy clothes and tend to slack off in classes. These kids are always called down to the deans office and harassed by police and school officals. I have witnessed it myself. Its because, the saints are so careful and as soon as they do get in trouble the plead and beg for mercy, and people think they are actually sorry for there actions when they are not. The roughnecks do things that are not even as bad as what the saints do but get the maximum punishment you can imagine. I think this is really messed up and one of the reasons I don't like this school.
