The main idea of this theory states that people develop a motivation to commit a crime and that the skills are learned through the people they associate with. Social learning theory suggests that “criminal behavior is learned through interaction with other persons.” (Cullen et al‚ pg 127) This theory says that people engage in criminal behavior the same way that they learn to engage

In narrower definitions that are used in social sciences and behavioral sciences‚ aggression is an intention to cause harm or an act intended to increase relative social dominance.

observational learning is a learning process of identifying a model and reproducing their behaviour. Reproduction of the observed behaviour can result on the basis of whether the behaviour of the model carries with it positive or negative consequences. This can also be referred to as vicarious reinforcement or vicarious punishment of the model’s behaviour. An observer will more likely reproduce the actions of a model whose characteristics they find attractive or desirable. An observer can acquire a
