Edwin Lemert (1912-1996)

This sociologist contributed greatly to our understanding of the process of labeling, with his key concepts, "primary deviation" and "secondary deviation".

 

 

 

Howard Becker

This sociologist has given us the valuable concept, "moral entrepreneurs," and has made many other significant contributions to the study of deviance. (He is also a jazz musician!).
