Deviancy amplification suggests that deviance in a society is the unintended consequence of police control, over-reaction and labelling by the mass media. This concept has been useful in studies of police reaction to drug abuse, sexual offences, group-based violence and political protests. Made popular by sociologist Howard Becker, ‘Labelling theory’ states that people come to identify and behave in ways that reflect how others label them. The theory suggests that when a person is labelled as a criminal due to a group he/she identifies with, it can cause society to treat the person poorly, which in turn results in the individual becoming deviant.

Some critics argue that there is no direct proof to show that labelling increases deviancy. In trying to correlate labelling and deviance, factors such as differences in socialisation, attitudes, and opportunities that lead to deviance is ignored.

Through narratives from the wives of the migrants who have been left-behind, the paper shows how the relative economic affluence of backward castes in comparison to groups from Most Backward Castes and Scheduled Castes made the process of migration easier and also helped them gain jobs with better pay and benefits.

Overseas migration helped those engaged in caste-based occupations in their villages to shift to other job sectors and improve their economic positions. However, most of them are able to make ends meet only because women from these communities continue to work in caste-based occupations to support the financial needs of their families.

The realm of academia is filled with synonymous words that are not really synonymous in technicality. Terminologies and distinct meanings attached to them form the world of academics. Assessments situations for university students, such as an assignment, term paper, response paper, reflective essay, coursework, dissertation, and exam, are those few words that get tossed in their direction time and again.
