Description
Most recently, social learning theory has been referred to as "perhaps the dominant theory of crime and delinquency in the United States" (Agnew 1999437). Yet the theory is often misrepresented, equated with differential association theory, or depicted as little more than a micro-level appendage to cultural deviance theories. Earlier attempts to clarify the unique features of the theory in comparison to other theories and apply it to macro-level issues are extended in this volume as it focuses on developing, applying, and testing the theory on a variety of criminal and delinquent behavior and application of the theory to treatment and prevention, moving social learning into a global context for the twenty-first century.
