I believe that there are both the deveants and saints that exist in all societies. I see it all the time at school. The kids that look like they'd be trouble are the ones that get written up more often than the more preppier looking ones. And when people are called to their deans for breaking school code/rules each punishment is different. If you're someone that rarely gets in to trouble then your punishment won't be as severe as someone who did the same thing as you who gets in trouble all the time. I really don't think that's fair, I think that the punishment should fit the crime which means that the punishment is the same for everyone.
Also in general when you see police arresting [people you tend to see that minorities are the ones who are in the back seat of the car. OUr society still judges by race whether you believe it or not. Like the example said in the class about a bunch of white kids from Naperville going into the city to pick up drugs, getting caught, and then being released with no punishment. Very different than a colored person who lives in the city or even one that visited the area. They would most likely be arrested and sentenced to jail time. This is why I believe that there are deveants and saints in our society.
