Abstract: The November 2021 GCSE Sociology Paper 2 examines “Crime and Deviance“ and “Social Stratification.“ Key themes include white-collar crime, self-report studies, moral panic, and deviance theories like Cohen′s status frustration. Social stratification topics cover poverty, meritocracy, the underclass, and Weber′s perspective on social status. Research methods, such as questionnaires and official crime statistics, are critically analyzed. Discussions explore gender disparities in crime, social class effects on life chances, and the role of capitalism in societal inequality. Keywords: sociology, crime, deviance, social stratification, inequality, research methods, status frustration, capitalism, poverty.
