Question 9

On a busy Tube carriage, all the other passengers are facing the doors. Tariq stands facing the other passengers, and several of them exchange surprised looks.

Which statement best applies to Tariq's behaviour?

[1]
A

It is both deviant and criminal because the passengers' shared reaction shows that society has prohibited it.

B

It is criminal but not deviant because behaviour in a public place is controlled by law rather than social norms.

C

It is neither deviant nor criminal because no passenger is physically harmed and no property is taken.

D
