Sutherland’s differential association theory explains how criminal values are culturally transmitted to individuals from important people in their lives and includes concepts of classical conditioning. Burgess and Akers differential reinforcement theory elaborates on Sutherland’s theory by incorporating the idea that people can be conditioned into behaving a specific way by being rewarded. Burgess and Akers learning theory incorporates new learning models and integrates social psychology into Sutherland’s theory to make it more comprehensive.
