There are competing perspectives on the subject of crime and deviance, including the nature of deviance as either subjective or objective. These perspectives are formalized in the various above approaches. The objective approach to deviance assumes that certain behaviours are naturally deviant, in that they go against widespread concensus in society. The affected norms are viewed as absolute. An example of a behaviour classified as objective positivists view as deviant would be rape, murder, and and theft. Other behaviours are not the object of widespread concensus, including marijuana use, and homosexuality. Subjective humanists view these behaviours as the objects of socially constructed norms and values, and are therefore constantly affected by some degree of flux.
