Expert Solution
Step 1

In sociology, deviance narrates an action or behavior that breaks social laws including formals as well as informal. It may have negative implications, but sometimes positive actions do exist. Although its breaks social laws but sometimes positive actions are acceptable. Example of deviant behavior which breaks laws includes rape, murder, domestic violence, robbery, assault, assault, arson, vandalism, fraud, drug abuse, and animal cruelty. It is the early experience that forces or influences them to commit such crimes that disrupt or destroy their lives. Paraphilia is essentially sexual deviance that goes for more than six months and it becomes part of sexual identity. Their main focus is to create fear in society but by creating that fear in society they end up killing the people. Psychological satisfaction is the main motive for deviant sexual killers. 

 In some societies, body shaming acts as a means of social control, minimizing deviance. It is seen as threatening because it reaches above the predictability. Sometimes an individual's deviant acts begin casually, and he or she gradually get trapped into more serious deviance.
