Why People Commit a Crime?
It was frequently asked and re calculateed byout the years of why mint commit a offensive activity. As the opposed question came about, theorist came out with their theories of why volume commit a horror. I believe people commit detestation because they are acquire it from the influences in their life and because the person or persons is a very important aspect in their lives it leads to the process of why people commit a aversion. This consorts to Sutherlands hypothesis of Differential Association, but while it does connect to Sutherlands opening this paper leave behind focus on the social attainment theory that Aker mentions and has further look into of the subject of crime.Micro-Level Learning theory has been innovational by umpteen theorist over the years such as the theorist Sutherland. If I were to test the theory of social learning, specifically micro-level learning theory I would examine the relationships with peers preferably home(a) relationships with frien ds and family. Only whence when viewing the intimate relationships, I would see the person learn the techniques of committing crime and whats considered in the text definitions. When mentioning definitions its what is lucky and unfavorable toward violation of the law.Now, for the theory to be accurate I have to find things that support or amongst the search if it undermines the theory at hand. The theory had one major concern that undermines the true statement of the theory. The theory does not give a good description of the favorable and unfavorable to crime. It was because that the description of the theory was first described by Sutherland than a few others, until it lead to Akers.There has been many theorists who tried to define the definitions more(prenominal) precisely. It was treated as different theories, but the main one I want to focus on is the social learning theory. Since at that place has been many theorist who focused for example, control theory it became difficu lt to find the theory that is more acceptable.Another concern that was mentioned was that the theory failed to describe the process of how crime is learned. Akers did however, did draw from psychology to get a better aspect of the behaviour and the social learning process. The process comes in three steps as tell by Akers. First, an individual learn beliefs that define crime as desirable or justifiable. He goes more in depth truism these beliefs lead to crime.The second process is that people engage in crime because are reinforced into that situation, meaning it could be peer pressure (a minus reinforcement) or the individual could receive a reward for participating in the crime. The last process is that people imitate the distressing behavior of others, which is the intimate relationship the individual has with them.The process of learning crime as shown through most studies which shows that associating with family and/or friends that exhibit criminal behavior, comes out more often throughout most of the studies. This was taken as a strong picture to support the social learning theory, however, even though it had the correlation legion(predicate) interrogationers argued against it.The researchers argued that the correlation doesnt mean that the association with criminal family or friends cause criminal behavior in the individual. Even saying that as well there has been strong support to back up the social learning theory. It is said that the origin of the support stems from research solely based off of experiments existence conducted such as surveys or field work studies.From all the schooling that has been researched and conducted has shown the support of the theory and also the facts that undermine the theory. If I were to make the theory more accurate I would say that an individual associating themselves with a dilapidated family member influences the individual to commit or take part in criminal activities.This combined theory now becomes more accurate to the research that has been conducted by the theorists. The theory itself needs a lot more research that needs to be conducted, but with the improved version of the theory will lead to a more stronger support of the social learning theory.
