While it may be an overstatement to say that "society is in the business of manufacturing crimes", a variation of this notion combined with a quasi-Marxian perspective may be valid. Employ these views to explain how some deviance could be a normal and beneficial part of society.
What would society be like with out the pure essence of deviance? Ok, So maybe "essence" is not the best word to describe deviance, but deviance in itself might actually be a natural element of life. Webster defines deviance as "turning aside from a course, standard, principle, or topic- Now, with that in mind, there are things in life which some people consider normal and others do not. For example, In Europe it is it is a common law to drive your vehicle on the left side of the street. That is a normal, and standard process. If some one was to drive on the left side of the street in Mid-America, that would be considered deviant. Does that mean that someone who is driving on the left in Europe is wrong considering the by-laws of that country or are we the ones deviating from what would be correct? There are so many issues that are just as culturally defined as the driving thing. Does one then make it an issue to look at things done differently in different elements of society than the next deviant or is there more to it? .
When criminal acts come into play there is a whole gray area when it comes down to deviance being a necessary element of society. Now, one would like to think that it is possible to live in a world free from crime, full of justice and freedom at the same time. But would that be a realistic lifestyle? Would that even be something that one would want implemented into society. The norm would rapidly be shaking their heads and nodding in agreement. Those would be the same people believing that there is no necessary evil, and the world could balance itself out with out the existence of "bad.
