How does a sociological view of deviance differ from the commonsense notion that bad people do bad things?

A sociological view of deviance considers deviant behavior as a product of social contexts and interactions, rather than inherent traits of individuals. It focuses on how norms, values, and power dynamics in society shape what is considered deviant. In contrast, the commonsense notion simplifies deviance as solely the result of individual choices and characteristics, failing to account for broader social influences.
