Description: Social Learning Theories of Crime, Hardcover by Sellers, Christine S. (EDT); Winfree, L. Thomas, Jr. (EDT); Akers, Ronald L. (EDT), ISBN 0754629678, ISBN-13 9780754629672, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The readings selected for this volume reveal the historical development of social learning theory, from its origins in differential association theory, through the role played by psychological behaviorism, to contemporary social learning theory and its further incorporation of social structure as the context within which criminal behavior is learned. The volume dispels common misunderstandings of the theory and emphasizes its foundations in both symbolic interactionism and behaviorism. At its core, the theory remains true to its origins in sociology, reflecting Sutherlands admonition that a complete learning theory must include macro- and micro-sociological processes. Besides conceptual treatments of the theorys development, the volume also presents data-based entries that convey the depth and breadth of social learning theory as an explanation of deviance. Social learning theory is demonstrated to be an explanation that spans the gamut of behaviors from gang activities to drug use to coercive sex to terrorism.
