SOCIAl Reaction[LABELING]Theory; 3rd type of Social Process; Social Reaction Theory, also called LABELING THEORY(2 terms are used interchangeably), explains criminal careers in terms of STIGMA-PRODUCING ENCOUNTERS; Social Reaction theory has a number of KEY POINTS:
1. Behaviors that are considered criminal are highly subjective;
2. Crime is defined by those in POWER. The content and shape of criminal law is defined by the values of those who rule and is not an objective standard of moral conduct[which most people such as myself think it is][basically morals to those in power don't count] Howard Becker refers to people who create rules as moreal entrepreneurs.
3. Not only acts are labeled; but aslo PEOPLE. LABELS DEFINE NOT JUST AN ACT BUT ALSO THE ACTOR. Valued labels such as smart, honest, hard working[which I was trained to think] suggest overall competence. sometimes labels are highly symblolic, such as being named "most likely to succeed" or class valedictorian. People who hold these titles are automatically assumed to be leaders who are well on their way to success witout meeting them we know they are hardworking, industrious and bright. These positive labels can imporve self-image and social standing.
Research shows that people who are labeled with one positive trait such as physically attractive are assumed to have other positive traits such as being intelligent and competent.
In contrast people who run afoul of the law or othr authority[s], such as school officials[Mr. JIM Shaw[couselor at Hanes Middle School,WS, NC] are given negative labels, including trouble makers, mentally ill[local/national technique-Rev. Mendez[church?]; and stupid that stigmatize them and reduce their self-image. Negative labels aslo define the whole person.
4.Both positive and negative labels involve subjective interpretation of behavior. A trouble make is merely someone who people label as troublesome[African American not working in secret for white males; African American seeking wealth based on African American heritage and culture; African American working to improve the AFrican American culture and heritage without white male approval]
In a famous statement, Howard Becker sums up the improtance of audiences reaction:
Social groups create deveiance by making rules whose infractions constitute deviance and by applying those rulss to particulare people and labeling them as outsiders[Any AFrican American [not working in secret for white males to advance white male sociey only]. From this point of view, deveiance is is not of quality of act a person commits; but rather a CONSEQUENCE OF the application of others of rules, SANCTIONS to an offener, the deviant is one to who the label has successfully been applied; deviant behavior is behavior that people[white males and those who work in secret for white males[BURKE and TAYLOR] so label.

Which is why the United States Supreme Court is the only one who can address the situation because authority has been permission to abuse/intimidate African Americans not working in secret to uplifte and promote only white male society[s] prosperity-which was decided through a court case that is a violation of the United States Constitution to punish African Americans for not slaving for white male/society;and person not having issues addressed [like rich white people do]to be able to have some relief is the same as "SLOW DEATH".
Confirmation:
C-Span channel 6 titled "MARKETING Consumer Info Conference" "Sen. JAY ROCKERFELLER stated that, "It is segmenting America and its citizens and causes them to have traumatic experiences; The NSA knows; there is something Lethal and unfair about that; that the people are stigmatized and have to live with the stigmtation all of their life and people are making MONEY off of people[immorally]; it is a dark underside of American and We don't want that." [12/21/13;11:53am;Channel 6; C-Span]; "And I am not living with your stigmatization"
Even if some acts are labeled as bad or evil, those who participate in them can be spared a negative label-[Gwyndolyn Gwyn and the son of Gwyndolyn Gwyn who pulled weapon on me];
Acts have negative Consequences ONLY when they are labeled by others[white males] as being wrong or evil.[anything done by African Americans to be prosperous, to advance the good in the African American community without a white males permission, anythng done to protect themselves or other African Americans is labeled evil and wrong by white males];
Consequences of labeling:
PUBLIC denuciation play an important part in the labeling process.[the humiliation ceremony when:
After WSTA route bus got to 311[kkk]made a left on to Carver Road, WSTA route 1 bus pulled over to the right side of Carver Road and stopped and the black[light skin WSTA driver] told all the African Americans to get off and go and get on the "PART" black Bus, which had been parked on Carver Road on the right side by the first street? on the right hand side on Carver Road];
"CONDIMINATION" is often carried out in ceremonies in which the individuals dignity is officially transformed.
One example of such a reidentification ceremony is a compentency hearing in which a person is decalred mentally ill; another is a PULBIC TRIAL in which a person is found to be a rapist or a child molester;
During the PROCESS, apermanent record is produced, such as an arrest or conviction record,so that the denounced person is ritually seperated from a place in the legitimate order and set outside the world occupied by citizens of good standing[which is the goal of white male system for all African Americans not doing what white males say];
Harold Garfinkle has called transactions that produce IRREVERSIBLE, PERMANENT labels "successful degradation ceremonies" [thus every time one of the "successful degradation ceremonies is overcame by an African American not working in secret for white males, etc.; then the PROCESS is started all over again to create a better "successful degradation ceremonies" process[like waves from the ocean that come out of nowhere];\
"Successful degradation ceremony" is a course of action or ritual in which someone's IDENTITY is Publically RE-defined [IDENTITY THEFT/FINANCIAL IDENTITY THEFT]and DESTROYED and he or she is therefore viewed as SOCIALLY UNACCEPTABLE.
P.188; CRIME AND LABELING
Because of the pROCESS of becomingSTIGMATIZED is essentially INTERACTIVE, labeling theorists BLAME the establishment of CIMINAL CAREERS ON THE SOCIAL AGENCIES originally designed for crime control, sucha s poloice, courts and correctional agencies. These institutions, labeling theorists claim are inflicting the very stigma that harms the people they are trying to treat or correct, as a result they actually help to maintain and amplify criminal behavior.[Went to Carl Russell recreation Center this morning to use computers[being that on Fridays they are closed and can't use them in the evening]; on the way back to house-four authority vehicles[all kinds] drove towards Carl Russell Recreation Center; one parked on only street person can turn and sliver SUV with Black female parked across from the authority vehicle[like one that was at Carl Russell Recreation Center when black authority male[white vehicle with broad blue stripe[s];Andupon getting ride to Carver Road library-same type authority vehicle was pulling out of Carver Road library];=result of informing the Mazzie Woodruff security and the Carver Road Branch Library that white males had been in the parking lot and in the Carver Road Branch Library trying to intimidate African American females into prostitution; the result=JOKE-ALL white males in authority vehicles looking for the white males=joke-which they never found and will never find;
Page 189; DIFFERENTIAL ENFORCEMENT:
An important priniciple of Social Reaction Theory is that the LAW is DIFFERENTIALLY APPLIED, benefiting those who hold economic and social power=white males;
In Sum, a major premises of social reaction theory is that the LAWE is differently constructed and applied, depending on the offender. It favors pwerful members of society, who direct its content, and penalizes the powerless, such as MINORITY group members[African American[s] not working in secret for white males]who demand equal rights;
Research on Social Reaction Theory:
Targets of labeling-there is EVIDENCE that just as predicted by labeling theory, poor and powerless people are victimized by the law and justice system[s]. Labels are not equeally distrubuted across class and racial lines. Racial profiling=example.
EFFECTS OF LABELING:
Empirical evidence shows that negative labels amay dramatically influence self image of offenders. Considereable evidence indicates that SOCIAL SANCTIONS lead to self labeling and deviance amplifications.[note: The local Winston-Salem Social agencies [Crisis Control ]inflict Social Sanctions on African Americans not working in secret for white males at a rate that is criminial by denying them access to food, water, heat];
Because crime and deviance are defined by the social audiences reation to people and their behavior and by the subsequent effects of that reaction, these institutions form the audience that keeps define behavior as evil or wrong, locking people into deviant identities.
STRAIN THEORY:
Strain-anger frustration and resentment experienced by people who believe they cannnot achieve their goalsthrough regular, legitimate means;
Because Strain and SOCIAL ISOLATION, a unique-lower class culture developing in disorganized neighborhoods. The independent subculture maintan unique values and beliefs that conflict with conventional SOCIAL NORMS-[African Americans not working for white males in secret develop survival values which protect them from the conflict that arises from not being allowed to be socially normal in white male system[s]]
CRIMINAL behavior is an expression of conformity to lower class subcultural values and traditions, not a rebellion from conventional society.[Gwyndolyn Gwyn and son [who knocked down my mailbox and pulled weapon on me when I was putting my mailbox back up] both came from the "PROJECTS"[where low-income housing development], in fact everybody on the street just about came from the projects=explains the crime=" the expression of conformity to lower class subcultural values and tradition"-white males have enforced the conformity in the African American neighborhoods that no African American [not working in secret for white males]and even those working in secret for white males are allowed to produce GOOD/POSITIVE actions,products, experiences in/for/of/by the African American neighborhood/people]
Subcultural values are handed down from one generation to the next in a process called CULTURAL TRANSMISSION.[And in order to accomplish the CULTURAL TRANSMISSION those in the African American neighborhoods who have the talent, knowledge, insight are targeted by white male system[s] operating in the African American neighborhoods through raising up African American[s] who work in secret that attack/STEAL the IDENTITY of the African American[s] with the talent, knowledge,insight that would create produce GOOD/POSITIVE actions,products, experiences in/for/of/by the African American neighborhood/people];
Thus-WSTA bus policy that only HANDICAPPED African Americans can get off in the front of the WSTA bus; all other healthy African Americans- have to get off in the back=can't make you sit at the back of the bus; but can make you get off at the back of the bus=produce mindset to accept being told to go/get to the back of anything;

LABELING PROCESS:
1. Initial criminal act
2. Detction by the Justice System
3. Decisions to label some are labeled official criminals by police and court authorities
4. Creation of a NEW IDENTITY, those labeled are known as called trouble makers, criminals and so , and they are shunned by conventional society.
5. Acceptance by Label-Labeled people begin to see themeslves as outsiders. Secondary deviance. Self labeling;
6. Deviance amplification-Stigmatized offenders are locked into the criminal career
[Basically the authors are saying a CRIMINAL is MADE by authorities];
