It could be, Cohen reasons, some audiences feel that certain actors achieved what they have by “cutting corners, cheating, using illegitimate means” (1965: 6). Perhaps these audiences feel that they themselves have exercised “self-restraint, effort, discipline, inhibition” while deviant actors are supposedly “morally undisciplined” and “give themselves up to idleness, self-indulgence” and “forbidden vices” (Cohen 1965: 6). An audience, explains Cohen, may express “righteous puritanical wrath to mete out punishment to the deviants, not so much to stamp out their deviant behavior, as to reaffirm the central importance of conformity as the basis for judging men [and women] and to reassure himself [and herself] and others of his [and her] attachment to goodness” (1965: 7).
