===Subjective vs. Objective===

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 behaviors are naturally deviant, in that they go against widespread consensus in society. The affected norms are viewed as absolute. An example of a behavior classified as objective positivists view as deviant would be rape, murder, and and theft. Other behaviors are not the object of widespread consensus, including marijuana use, and homosexuality. Subjective humanists view these behaviors as the objects of socially constructed norms and values, and are therefore constantly affected by some degree of flux.
