Explanation / Answer

1) False--Deviance is not always negative, it can be positive also. Normally deviance is negative and includes the anti-criminal and anti-social activities related to wrong behavior in society. It invovles the ability of a person to face worst situations in life and lead a better life based on credibility and hardwork. This task is undertaken by the non-governmental organization and social movements which volunteer for the better functioning of the society.

2)Total institutions are intended to resocialize people. These institutions include the mental hospitals, military hospitals, rehabilitation units, and social isolation chambers where criminals are normally kept to reform them and re-orient them for the society.

3) True--All crimes are deviant but deviance is not a criminal act.

4)True--Definitions regarding drugs are formulated by research group organization with its harmful effects on the body. The governmental organizations then design laws for the use of the drugs by people in the society.
