Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Social learning theory is a psychological perspective that says that people learn how to behave by modeling themselves after others whom they have the opportunity to observe. In the Containment approach, the aspects of the social bond and of the personality act to prevent individuals from committing crimes and engaging in deviance. The neutralization approach centers on rationalizations that allow offenders to shed feelings of guilt and responsibility for their behavior.
