Deviant behavior is, on the one hand, act, human action, not corresponding officially established or actually prevailing in this society standards or the standards, and on the other a social phenomenon, expressed in mass forms of human activity, not corresponding officially established or actually prevailing in a given society norms or standards.

Under deviant (lat. deviatio — a deviation) the behaviour of modern sociology means, on the one hand, act, human action, not corresponding officially established or actually prevailing in a given society Mr. norms come standards, and with another — a social phenomenon, expressed in mass forms of human activity, not corresponding officially established or actually prevailing in a given society norms or standards.
In General, the forms of deviant behavior are usually classified as criminality, alcoholism, drug addiction, prostitution, gambling, mental disorder, suicide.
Typology of deviant behavior, Merton is based on the concept of deviation as the gap between cultural goals and socially approved ways of achieving them. In line with this he identifies four possible types of deviation:
· innovation, suggesting agreement with the aims of the society and negation of the accepted ways of achieving them (to the "innovators" are prostitutes, Blackmailers, the creators of the financial pyramid, the great scientists);
· ceremonialism associated with the negation of the purposes of this society and the absurd hyperbole of the ways of achieving them, for example, a bureaucrat requires that each document was carefully filled, double-checked, filed in four copies, but forget the main thing — the goal;
· retreatism (or escapism), as expressed in the renunciation of socially approved goals and means of achieving them (drunkards, drug addicts, homeless people, etc.);
· rebellion, denying and objectives, and methods, but seeking to replace them with a new one (revolutionaries seeking to dismantle all social relations).
