Criminal behavior is learned
Learning Behavior Good & Bad
Criminal behavior is learned in interaction with other persons in a process of communication
The principal part of the learning of
criminal behavior occurs within
intimate personal groups
When criminal behavior is learned, the learning
includes techniques of committing the crime
(which are sometimes very complicated, sometimes simple) and the specific
direction of motives, drives, rationalizations, and
attitudes.
The specific direction of motives and drives is
learned from definitions of the legal codes as
favorable or unfavorable.
A person becomes a criminal because of frequent criminal
patterns. For example, if one is exposed to a
repeated criminal scenario, this scenario will eventually rub off
on others nearby.
Differential associations may vary in frequency, duration, priority, and intensity.
The process of learning criminal behavior by association with
criminal and anti-criminal patterns involves all of the mechanisms that are involved in any other learning.
While criminal behavior is an expression of general needs and
values, it is not explained by those needs and values, since non-
criminal behavior is an expression of the same
needs and values
