(T/F) term "deviant" refers to a moral, not a social judgement

False.
The term "deviant" typically refers to behavior that is considered to be outside the norms of a particular society or group. It is a social judgment rather than a moral one, as what is considered deviant can vary greatly between different cultures and time periods. The concept of deviance is often used in sociology and criminology to describe behavior that is considered to be unacceptable or abnormal by a particular group or society.
