Labelling otherwise known as symbolic, or social interactionism or social reaction theory

Question 1

What is the policy implication of labelling theory for restorative justice?

11:19 ✓✓

A Harsher penalties should be imposed to deter initial deviance.

B Interventions should avoid stigmatising offenders and support reintegration. ✓

C Crime control should focus on biological screening of high-risk youth.

11:19 ✓✓

✅ Correct!
Restorative justice avoids labelling by focusing on reconciliation, not punishment (Braithwaite). Option A contradicts the theory; Option C reflects positivism.

11:19 ✓✓

Introduction to sociological perspectives

Question 2

A youth from a deprived urban area joins a gang that values street respect and illegal income. Which theory best explains this behaviour?

11:19 ✓✓

A Labelling theory, because the youth has been stigmatised by authorities and internalises a deviant identity.

B Strain theory, as the youth faces blocked opportunities and adopts alternative means to gain status. ✓

C Biological determinism, because genetic factors predispose the youth to aggressive behaviour.

11:19 ✓✓

✅ Correct!
Strain theory explains how blocked access to legitimate success leads to innovation—using crime to achieve status. Option A could apply if labelling had occurred, but the scenario focuses on structural barriers. Option C misattributes behaviour to biology.

11:19 ✓✓

Sources of data, criminal statistics and their interpretation

Question 3

What is meant by the 'dark figure of crime'?

11:19 ✓✓

A The proportion of crime that is officially recorded and reported in police statistics.

B The unreported and unrecorded crime that does not appear in official statistics. ✓

C The criminal behaviour of law enforcement officials that is concealed from the public.

11:19 ✓✓

✅ Correct!
The dark figure refers to crimes not captured by official data due to underreporting or non-recording. Option A describes the visible portion; Option C, while real, is not the definition of the dark figure.
