Ronald L. Akers; Marvin D. Krohn; Lonn Lanza-Kaduce; Marcia Radosevich.
American Sociological Review, Vol. 44, No. 4. (Aug., 1979), pp. 636-655.
Throughout this article Akers and the other criminologist try and explain how Social Learning and Deviant Behavior explain crime. This is thought to be through association with others and learning behaviors from the ones around you. Akers believed that if you were raised around crime and deviant behavior that you too would fall into those habits. To this day, it is still a very popular criminology theory that many use to explain crime and deviance. I have learned about this theory over the last two years and I believe it is a very good assessment of crime. It is probably one of the most famous criminology theories of all time.
