Merton's 5 types (Robert K. Merton's Deviance Typology)
Conformists: accept the cultural goals of society, and accept the socially approved means for attaining those goals. Ritualists: reject the cultural goals of society, but accept the socially approved means for attaining those goals. Innovators: accept the cultural goals of society, but reject the socially approved means for attaining those goals. Retreatists: reject both the cultural goals and the approved means of attaining those goals; 'retreat.' Rebels: reject both the cultural goals and the approved means of attaining those goals; substitute new goals and new means of attaining those goals.
