So the labelling theory is a social interactionist theory of sociology. The labelling theory explains that over time a person can accept what they have been labelled and enter the self fulfilling prophecy which leads them to accept and become that label. For explain if a teacher labels a student as badly behaved and treats them like they are badly behaved, over time they become badly behaved.
