4. Deviances among privileged class of India
India has a rich culture and tradition.
Intermingling of various types of races & civilization.
India has emerged with wide categories of richness in all senses.
But as said everything has its two sides.
Due to diversification, there is an emergence of various classes too.
One such class is the privileged class.
Those who are enjoying some sort of the privileges or facilities.
In India we find a very good numbers of such people.

5. Contd…
These privileges are being given to them either because of the name or fame or their excellence in any particular area.
They used to constitute a whole class of people as we find that they are variously present.
And above all in a country like India they are prominent too.
They are being given rights and powers.

6. Contd…
The term deviances is nothing but the “deflection from the right path”. 
When one is given some facility then definitely he should have some responsibilities too.
These responsibilities can also be termed as the ethics or the duties.
When they are not followed they are called as the Deviances.
In India we have so many problems such as large population. the problems of the employment and that of sustenance, the deviances become too typical.

politics, sports, education, profession, administration, glamour…etc.

Not a new concept – found its place in criminology in 1941, when Prof. E.H. Sutharland published his research paper on White Collar Crimes in American Sociological Review. defines white collar criminal as a “person of upper socio- economic class who violates the criminal law in the course  of his occupational or professional activities”

10. Sutherland pointed out – besides traditional crimes such as assault, robbery, dacoity, murder, rape, kidnapping, there are certain crimes which are committed by privileged class.
These were accepted as a part of usual business tactics necessary for success in business hence they often went unheeded and unpunished by society.
