Deviancy amplification spiral (Wikipedia)
Lead sectionQuote, Lead section
In sociology, a deviancy amplification spiral occurs in societies or social environments when certain attempts to eradicate slightly deviant or criminal behavior by labeling and shaming it in a way that ultimately serves to further marginalize the people viewed as deviant, and cause them to engage in further deviance, thus intensifying social disapproval and perpetuating the cycle.
