Manifest function refers to the intended function of social policies, processes, or actions that are consciously and deliberately designed to be beneficial in their effect on society. Meanwhile, a latent function is one that is not consciously intended, but that, nonetheless, has a beneficial effect on society.

Meanwhile, a latent function is one that is not consciously intended, but that, nonetheless, has a beneficial effect on society. Contrasting with both manifest and latent functions are dysfunctions, a type of unintended outcome that is harmful in nature.

Learn More »The thing about latent functions is that they often go unnoticed or uncredited, that is unless they produce negative outcomes. Merton classified harmful latent functions as dysfunctions because they cause disorder and conflict within society. However, he also recognized that dysfunctions can be manifest in nature. These occur when the negative consequences are known in advance and include, for example, the disruption of traffic and daily life by a large event like a street festival or a protest. It's the former, though, that primarily concern sociologists. In fact, one could say that a significant portion of sociological research is focused on just that—how harmful social problems are unintentionally created by laws, policies, rules, and norms that are intended to do something else. New York City's controversial Stop-and-Frisk policy is a classic example of a policy that is designed to do good but actually does harm. This policy allows police officers to stop, question, and search any person who they deem suspicious in any way. Following the terrorist attack on New York City in September 2001, police began to do the practice more and more, so much that from 2002 to 2011, the NYPD increased their stopping and frisking by seven-fold. Yet the research data on the stops show that they did not achieve the manifest function of making the city safer because the vast majority of those stopped were found to be innocent of any wrongdoing. Rather, the policy resulted in the latent dysfunction of racist harassment, as the majority of those subjected to the practice were Black, Latino, and Hispanic boys. Stop-and-frisk also led to racial minorities feeling unwelcome in their own community and neighborhood, feeling unsafe and at-risk of harassment while going about their daily lives and fostered distrust in the police in general. So far from producing a positive impact, stop-and-frisk resulted over the years in many latent dysfunctions. Fortunately, New York City has significantly scaled back its use of this practice because researchers and activists have brought these latent dysfunctions to light.
