Abstract

A complete theoretical model defines the outcomes of its operations. This analysis sets forth the outcomes of so-called deviant social action, in a logical typology of deviant behavior, no one of the classes of which is vacuous. Merton originally proposed four deviant modes of adaptation in social action; extension of his analysis reveals a total of fourteen types of deviant behavior. This typology of deviant outcomes of social action constitutes a part-theory necessary to any closed theoretical models of deviant behavior.
