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 Sutherland's admonition that a complete learning theory
must include macro- and micro-sociological processes. Besides
conceptual treatments of the theory's 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.
