The statement "All law breakers are deviants in all social contexts" is not true. Deviance is context-specific, meaning that what is considered deviant behaviour in one social context may not be in another. For example, drinking alcohol in public may be considered deviant behaviour in some countries, but not in others. Similarly, speeding on the highway may be considered deviant behaviour in some contexts, but not in others. Therefore, all individuals who break the law are not necessarily considered deviant in all social contexts.
