For Howard Becker deviance is defined as by the reaction of others to the behavior.  The relativity of deviance is best clarified by the typical interactionist viewpoint. Deviance is the reality or condition of withdrawing from regular or acknowledged guidelines, particularly in social or sexual conduct.
