SLT 3 forms:	1) differential association 2) differential reinforcement t. 3) neutralization t.
differential association(DA) t.	Edwin H Sutherland, Principles of Criminology
DA	principle that criminal acts are related to persons exposure to an excess amount of Antisocial attitudes & values
8 DA Principles	1) learned as any other Bhav 2) Crime is interaction 3) learning deviance occurs w/in intimate groups 4)includes learning tech. for crime, motives, attitudes rationalizations 5) different views of maintaining views 6) criminal perceives more benefits then bad consequences 7. vary in frequency, duration, intensity 8. learning definitions favorable to criminality produce illegal Bhav
criticisms of DA	1) vague definitions 2) difficult to test 3) police are constantly associating w/ criminals= criminal Bhav 4) some ppl become socialized into deviant or conformity society 5) does not explain class differences 6) not everyone succumbs to there criminal learning
Differential Reinforcement Theory Akers and Burgess	view on crime is a type of learned Bhav, combining differential association w/ elements of psychological learning
Direct Conditioning	when BHav is either rewarded or punished during interaction w/ others
Differential Association	learning from direct or indirect interaction w/ others
Imitation	observational learning experiences, ex media
cognitive definitions	attributes that are favorable or unfavorable toward a Bhav can either stimulate or extinguish Bhav
Neutralization Theory Matza and Sykes	offenders adhere to conventional values while drifting into periods of illegal Bhav by neutralizing legal & moral values
subterranean values	morally tinged influences that become entrenched in culture but are publicly condemned by convention members of society
drift	movement of youth in & out of delinquency b/c their lifestyles can embrace both deviant & conventional values
techniques of neutralization	strategies used by deviants to counteract moral constraints so that they may drift into criminal acts, a cognitive dissonance strategy

1 advantages of Social learning theories	study delinquent and criminal Bhav across social class structure
2 criticisms of social learning T	1) don't explain spontaneous acts of violence 2) 70% of ppl are on drugs when committing a crime - do drug addicts neutralize values?
Social Control theories	all people have potential to violate law from opportunities society presents
commitment to conformity	a positive orientation to rules of society, whereby individual internalizes those rules
self-rejection	consequence of successfully being labeled, whereby negative stigma is internalized
containments	internal & external factors that insulate youths from delinquency-promoting situations: strong self-concept & positive support from parents & teachers

external pulls	deviant companies, membership in criminal subculture, influence of mass media
Causes of Delinquency Travis Hirschi	Social Bond
Social Bond	ppl are kept under control through fear of damaging their potential rela. w/ friends, family; weak social bonds lead to crime
4 elements of social bond	1) attachment- caring for others 2) commitment- wish for money/ future 3) involvement- w/in school, activities 4) belief- in rights & respect of others
2 Criticisms of Social Bond T	1) doesn't explain strong bonds in deviant sub groups 2) little distinction in importance of elements

criminals are labeled as	ex-con, drug addict, hard to find job
crime and deviance are defined by:	social audience reaction to persons Bhav and subsequent effects of reaction, not moral content of illegal act
moral entrepreneurs	interest groups that attempt to control social life and legal order for purpose of prompting their own set of moral values
social distance	a person can be labeled as deviant b/c of differences in power b/w labeller and person labelled; differences are typically those of race, class, ethnicity
two effects of labelling	1) creation of stigma 2) effect on self-image
master status	an ID that overrides all others, such as drug dealer being a more important status than citizen
dramatization of evil Tannenbaum's pioneer study of labelling	process whereby reaction to deviance sets up a feedback effect that individual internalizes
primary deviance lemart	deviant acts that go undetected or unsanctioned, thus do not help redefine self, & public image of offender
secondary deviance Lemart	deviant acts that are sanctioned, after w/h the deviant label becomes a basis for person ID
General Deviance Theory	people conform to social group standards face negative sanctions, considered failures w/ similar labeled peers
social sanctions lead to	self-rejection, deviant peer association, eventual deviance amplification
Differential Social Control Heimer and Matsueda	self-evaluations reflect actual or perceived appraisals made by others, self-filling prophecies
reflective role-taking	experience in w/h youths who view themselves as delinquent give an inner-voice to their perceptions of how significant others feel about them
reflected appraisal	a youth's self-evaluation that is based on his/her persecutions of how others evaluate them
research of labeling theories go in 2 distinct categories	1) offenders who are chosen for negative labels are likely to be powerless ppl unable to defend themselves 2) attempts to discover effects of being labeled
3 effects of labeling	1) once labeled Bhav changes 2) self-labeling is produced by intensive official labeling 3) labeling over time sustains criminality
3 criticism of labeling theory	1) fails to explain difference in crime rates 2) deviance is relative 3) labeling often follows rather than precedes chronic offending
3 Advantages to labeling theory	1) IDs roles played by social control agents in process of crime causation 2) criminality is not a disease or pathological Bhav. focuses on interactions & reactions 3) distinguishes b/w criminal acts/ career
2 Advantages of Integrated Development Theory	1) practical 2) substantive
developmental criminology	an approach that examines change in a criminal career over life course: biological, social, psychological factors involved in desistance, resistance, escalation, specialization
3 groups of integrated theories	1) multifactor theories 2) latent trait theories 3) life-course theories
multifactor theories	combine influences of variables that have been used in structural, socialization, conflict, choice, trait theories
latent traits	stable features, characteristics, properties, conditions that are present at birth or soon after & that lead some ppl to be crime-prone over their life course
life-course theory	criminal offending patterns change over a person's entire life, influences by conditions or events that occur at various stages in life
Multifactor theories	view that attempt to integrate individual factors and independent concepts into complex, coherent explanations of criminality
Social developmental model (SDM)	attempt to integrate social control, social learning, structural models of crime
3 Multifactor theory	1) rational choice to commit crime 2) decision is tempered w/ control theory/social bonds 3) and by learning theory
SDM- children develop bonds to family through 4 ways:	1) their perceived opportunities for involvement in activities & interactions w/ others 2) Their degree of involvement & interaction w/ others 3) Their development of skills needed to participate in these interactions 4) Their perceived reinforcement as a result of their participation
pro-social bonds - SDM	bonds developed w/in context of a family life that provide pro-social opportunities & consistent, positive feedback
Elliott's Integrated Theory	combines strain, social learning, control theories into single theoretical model
a-h) Elliot's Integrated Theory	a) improperly socialized b) face a significant risk of perceiving strain c) perceptions of strain then lead to weakened bonds w/ conventional groups, activities, norms d) weak conventional bonds & high levels of perceived strain lead some youths to reject conventional social values e) seek out deviant peer groups f) delinquent associations come positive reinforcement & role model for deviance g) high levels of delinquent Bhav when high attachment of social bonds to delinquents h) adolescents who live in socially disorganized areas
Integrated Structural Marxist	theory looks at influence of a person's position w/in relation of material production
4 Integrated structural marxist theory	1) capitalist economic system: workplace environment, competition 2) Family relations: Strain, Alienation 3) Adolescent conflict: poor schools, social maladjustment, strain 4) Deviant peers: violence, theft
Glueck Research	life cycle of delinquent careers
Glueck Research early onset	suggests a criminal career can begin in life b/c ppl who are deviant at a very young age are likely to persist in crime throughout their lifetime
4 ways in w/h deviance increases in children Glueck Research	1) lack of parental supervision 2) social rejection by peers 3) commitment to deviant peer group 4) improperly socialized by unskilled parents
4 cognitive transformation	1. shift in actor's basic openness to change 2. Exposure to particular hook or set of hooks for change 3. willingness to establish a "new ID" 4. tansformation in way actor views deviant Bhav, or lifestyle, itself
