Describe the differential association theory of criminal behavior
What will be an ideal response?
Differential association theory addresses the issue of why some people become deviants while others in the same social situation do not. This approach takes the position that criminality is learned in association with those who already engage in criminal behavior. Whether a person becomes a criminal or not is essentially determined by those with whom he or she associates.
