VICTOR OF AVEYRON
One of the most famous feral children was Victor of Aveyron, who was
found wandering in the woods in southern France in 1797. He then
escaped custody but emerged from the woods in 1800. Victor was
thought to be about age 12 and to have been abandoned some years
earlier by his parents; he was unable to speak and acted much more
like a wild animal than a human child. Victor first lived in an institution
and then in a private home. He never learned to speak, and his
cognitive and social development eventually was no better than a
toddler’s when he finally died at about age 40 (Lane, 1976).

In rare cases, children have grown up in extreme isolation and end up

lacking several qualities that make them fully human.

FUNCTIONS OF DEVIANCE
Deviance serves as an outlet for diverse forms of expressions.

Deviance serves to define the limits of acceptable behavior.

Deviance may also promote in-group solidarity.

Deviance can serve as a barometer of social strain.

 SOCIOLOGY THEORIES OF DEVIANCE:
1. Functionalist Theory
According to EMILE DURKHEIM, deviance can serve a
number of functions for society. He asserted that
there is nothing abnormal in deviance. He gave four
major functions of deviance:
a. Deviance affirms cultural values and norms.
b. Responding to deviance clarifies normal boundary.
c. Responding to deviance promotes social unity.
d. Deviance encourages social change.
2. Strain Theory
Robert Merton argued that in an unequal society the
tension or strain between socially approved goals and
an individual’s ability to meet those goals through
socially approved means will lead to deviance as
individuals reject either the goals, the means or both.
FORMS OF DEVIANCE THAT EMERGE FROM STRAIN:
a. Conformity
b. Innovation
c. Ritualism
d. Retreatism
e. Rebellion
3. Control Theory

Travis Hirschi assumed that the family, school,

and other social institutions can greatly contribute to
social order by controlling deviant tendencies in very
individual.
