In this essay the author aimed mainly at exposing some hidden relations between "politics" and a crime. Studies of a crime and deviance, especially of positive criminology, have not concerned with political elements in the process of "making" of a crime and deviance. They have assumed that a crime and deviance are a priori apolitical phenomena. So the studies have been exclusively concerned with technical problems of how to treat dangerous criminals and deviants. But really there is an inevitable connection between a crime and politics. This issue was discussed by labelling theorists, especially by H. S. Becker, for the first time. So the author reviewed their discussions concerning this issue in brief and then tried to evaluate its implications. I think that it is very important and useful to reread labelling theory as a "Political Science". By doing so, we might be able to expand the concept of "politics" beyond a formal one and discover hidden connections between a crime and politics. In the last place, the author proposed to see social control activities not only in the formal reactions to a crime and deviance, but also in the sphere of our everyday life. For it is necessary to see repressive nature of our everyday life world in order to find political aspects of a crime and deviance.
