4. Technicways and Social Change
Technicways are the social configurations of normative and patterned behaviors formed in response to technology.
They generally assume practical applications.
For example, telephones increased our ability to reach someone more effectively.
However, they are also adapted for deviant purposes.
For example, streetwalking prostitutes could use the phone to become call girls.

Normal Deviance
Normal deviance (also known as normative deviance or secret deviance) is sexual behavior that occurs often and among a large number of participants, thus making it statistically normal.
These activities are statistically common despite their propensity to offend the normative standards of many.
Examples include masturbation, oral sex and premarital sex. Most people have engaged in one or more of these acts.

9. Pathological Deviance
Pathological deviance is considered by most people to be harmful, is against the law, or is engaged in by relatively few individuals.
There is a particular type of association between laws, mores and behavior.
Understanding the sources of deviant learning and the reinforcement of continued behavior generally necessitates a psychological or social-psychological perspective rather than a sociological one.
Examples include sexual contact with children, incest, rape and some forms of voyeurism and exhibitionism.

10. Sociological Deviance
Sociological deviance is sociological in nature in that it consists of behaviors that spawn unique forms of social structure despite the condemnation that generally incur.
The social structures generated by these activities generate specific social structures which serve to recruit participants, train them, gather people together to perform the act and provide support for the actor.
Examples include bug chasing, some forms of voyeurism, homosexuality, prostitution, swinging and nudism (in nudist camps).
