The interactive approach differs from other approaches in two ways; it considers deviance from a different theoretical perspective and examines the different dimensions of deviance that is ignored by other approaches. It focuses on the interaction between deviance and those who define the related phenomenon as deviance. The interactionists deny the idea of types of behaviors that inherently consists of “deviant” characteristic. They seek answers to the question of how the behaviors are initially described as deviance and why certain groups are labeled as deviant, while the other groups are not labeled.
