Answer 1

Answer:

I do agree with Howard Becker because negative labeling is a word that is used to describe a group of people negatively but it is not everybody that uses negative words in the wrong way.

People look at their impact or the position they have in an area and want to be different from others. Sometimes, negative labeling is used to motivate people. But negative labeling indeed has an impact on crime. For example, someone who is been called a thief can go on and start stealing likewise, a person who's been called a freak can end up committing a crime.

Answer 2

Answer:

Yes, I agree because it can trigger the wrong person which could possibly make someone want to commit a crime out of anger. If you're being called a freak or weird by someone, that can simply cause that person anger or sadness which they take it out on something or someone.
