The normative approach can be split into two categories: conforming behavior and non-violating behavior. The relativist approach is based on the assumption that deviance is socially constructed.
This is what I found online, btw. Hope it helps :)
i guess the difference is that the normative viewpoint tries to characterize the distinguishing traits of deviants, whereas the relativistic perspective concentrates on the social processes involved in audience definitions of deviance and reactions to those who have been so defined.
