The process of becoming stigmatized by crime labels is interactive. labeling theorists blame the establishment of criminal careers on parents. crime control agencies. teachers. the criminals themselves.
The whole environment is actually responsible for eliciting labels. It can be good or bad.
Crime labels can come from anyone and can cause harm that can make a one's worth. To make a person change or turn good, giving him crime labels cannot help. It leaves a stigma that can slow down change.
