In the documentary "Death by Fire" Todd Willingham was arrested, tried and convicted of the murders of his three daughters then sentenced to death. Reports from the neighbors in the documentary said Willingham was "A very mean man".
When studying Willingham’s childhood history, he was raised by a father who was very strict and would tell him he could not do anything right. This resulted in life of criminal activity including employing people to do burglaries for him. This later led him to the experimentation of drugs by "huffing" paint fumes, and later with hard drugs. Labeling theory, as described in the text in its simple form, is once an individual(s) in a society becomes known as being engaged in deviant activity they are segregated
