Social Control Theory vs. Social Learning Theory Abstract Social control theory and social learning theory are two theories that suggest why deviant behavior is chosen to be acted upon by some individuals and not others. Both take a different stance on the issue. Social control theory suggests people’s behavior is based on their bonds to society, if they have strong bonds to society they conform and if not they have a tendency to act out or become involved in criminal
going over all of the social factors that go on through the family as well as the community and how much of an emotional toll is actually put fourth on to the children of these inmates. Another very big concern I will be going over is that if these children do end up turning to crime, what percentage of children with parents in jail actually turn to it and do their parents ever encourage or try to discourage crime through their children. Some of the criminological theories that I will be discussing
or bad, but we really don’t know why we make those choices. There is a point in life when you choose to be deviant. Social control theory and social learning theory suggest what makes us do the deviant behavior and what makes it different from one person to another. They both have to do with the world around us, but have different views on how you portray yourself from that. Social control is how you interact with society, and it suggest that if you are close to society you will have good behavior
Child Abuse and Neglect cause Juvenile Delinquency Strain theory describes the idea that there are certain events and conditions in an individual’s life that are disliked and involve the inability to achieve goals, loss of positively valued stimuli, and presentation of negative stimuli (Brezina and Agnew). Child neglect and abuse can be described by this theory, and often is, because of its elements and the effect it has on children.

In this essay, I will argue that one can learn criminal and violent behaviour by those who they hold close interpersonal relationships with, for example, family and friends. In saying that, I will be using the social learning theory looking in particular at Edwin Sutherland and his notion of differential association and Akers concept of differential reinforcement to explore the relationship between Ken Hideyoshi and Koa Puana. In The Tattoo, we were introduced to Koa

Development is the methodical changes and continuities in an individual that occur between conception and death (Sigelman, Rider & De George-Walker, 2013). There are seven domains of development: physical/biological, psychosocial, cognitive/learning, social, emotional, behavioural and moral/spiritual (AIHW, 2011). Development of these domains occurs in stages, where each stage gives rise to behaviour that is suitable for that stage (Schmidt Neven, 2010). These foreseeable changes are known as milestones
The second and third stage is primary and secondary circular reactions. Throughout these stages, babies repeat entertaining actions concentrated on their own body. The primary stage usually appears when they are between 1-4 months old (McLeod, 2010). This is when I started to continually kick my legs a lot, and I sucked on my thumb even more. Supposedly I smiled a bunch, and I loved looking at myself in the mirror (Personal archives, November 23, 2015). I also had my baptism during this stage; it
