Item B Functionalists argue that crime and deviance are inevitable as not everyone can be fully integrated into the norms and values of society. They believe that crime exists in all societies and has many benefits, such as showing people the difference between right and wrong. However, other sociologists, such as conflict theorists, are more critical of the view that crime and deviance are beneficial for all individuals and for society as a whole. For example, the construction of crime could be seen to serve the interests of powerful groups. Applying material from Item B and your knowledge, evaluate the view that crime and deviance are inevitable and beneficial for individuals and for society as a whole.

Item C Social action theorists take a micro-level approach in focusing on an individual’s free will and choice of behaviour. These theorists believe it is important to examine how people interact with others and seek to understand the meanings behind why people behave as they do. However, structural theorists are critical of social action theories. They argue that sociologists should examine the structural power differences between groups and individuals, which control people’s behaviour. Applying material from Item C and your knowledge, evaluate the usefulness of social action theories in explaining human behaviour.
