Juvenile delinquency and deviance

Prepare a paper based on how Fritz Heider’s attribution theory can contribute to the perception of juvenile delinquency and deviance, and whether it is an external cause of exceptional circumstances or a dispositional property of a person.

Consider how the person acts when confronted, minorities who expect to be labeled deviant may act defiant and/or guilty and hence their performance (Erving Goffman’s Theory) may contribute to the perception they are deviant and fitting that role/label, while a rich and powerful family member might act surprised or remorseful, leading to the attribution of an external cause to the behavior, or lack of intent, making it seem less deviant.
