Power and social class plays a huge role in how deviance is perceived. A person that has money or power is able to basically do whatever they want because people either wouldn't believe that they would do something like that because of their power or social class or they would have people standing up for them to convince them that they didn't do it or wouldn't ever do anything like that. One example that I could think of would be when supervisors at my work do something that they aren't supposed to do but because they're supervisors they can get away with it. None of the other people below them or in the same 'class' as them would ever say anything to them because they all do the same things. They know that they are supposed to be doing the things they are like texting during work but they do because they know that nobody is going to say anything to them.
