Social learning and social structure : a general theory of crime and deviance
Akers, Ronald L.
New Brunswick, N.J. : Transaction Publishers, ©2009.
"This is the first single volume, in-depth, authoritative discussion of the background, concepts, development, modifications, and empirical tests of social learning theory. Akers begins with a personal account of Sutherlands involvement in criminology and the origins of his influential perspective. He then traces the intellectual history of Sutherlands theory as well as social learning theory, providing a comprehensive explanation of how each theory approaches illegal behavior. Akers reviews research on various correlates and predictors of crime and delinquency that may be used as operational measures of differential association, reinforcement, and other social learning concepts." --
