I also think there is an expectation for young people to engage in deviant behaviour. <br /><br />However, in shops, this avoidance of deviance doesn't usually fly as easily because there are designated 'shop-attendants' responsible for policing the space. That's why I was wondering whether or not directing the performance at the screen played a role in the response (or lack thereof) it got from the people physically present.brady jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16261309804801662616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-389557031279487651.post-19694313542274265942011-04-15T12:42:10.989+10:002011-04-15T12:42:10.989+10:00Do you think this is because it is easier for peop...Do you think this is because it is easier for people to ignore deviance than it is to police it, or even to watch it?<br /><br />If they police it, then they have to intervene, and perhaps suffer consequences themselves (to any degree--a waste of time, physical harm, etc.).<br /><br />If they watch it, they are implicated in the deviance--e.g. watching someone break into a house without doing something about it is, in a way, allowing the break in to occur.<br /><br />If this is the case, does that mean that anyone doing the same sort of thing might be able to get away with it because they are invisible?Bob B.http://about.me/bobbuttigiegnoreply@blogger.com
