	Labeling Theory

	Labeling Theory is a sociological approach to explaining how criminal behavior is perpetuated by the police and other "labelers". The theory hypothesizes that the labels applied to individuals influence their behavior, particularly that the application of negative labels (such as "criminal" or "felon") promote deviant behavior, becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. Consequently, labeling theory postulates that it is possible to prevent social deviance via a limited social shaming reaction in "labelers" and replacing moral indignation with tolerance. Emphasis is placed on the rehabilitation of offenders through an alteration of their label(s). Related prevention policies include client empowerment schemes, mediation and conciliation, victim-offender forgiveness ceremonies, restitution, reparation, and alternatives to prison programs involving diversion. Labeling theory has been accused of promoting impractical policy implications, and criticized for failing to explain society's most serious offences.
