True or False: Theories of deviance suggest that all individuals who engage in deviant behavior do so for the same reasons, regardless of their social context.

The statement is false. Theories of deviance explain that different people engage in deviant behavior for various reasons, and these reasons can be influenced by their social context, such as family, culture, and environment. For example, a teenager might start skipping school because of peer pressure from friends, while another might do so due to a lack of support at home. These different motivations show that deviance is not one-size-fits-all; it varies based on individual experiences and societal influences. Understanding this helps us see that context matters in why people behave in ways that society considers deviant.
