2. Differential Association Theory of Deviance
Cultural Transmission Theory or Differential Association Theory of Deviance is called the social learning theories of deviance.

In support of this theory, Edwin Sutherland, a criminologist in 1939 introduced differential association theory of deviance – in which he identified 3 factors, which determine deviance. a. Age, at which a person is introduced to deviance. If you are introduced to deviance when you are young, then you are likely to be deviant. If you are older, than you are not going to be deviant.
