The Perspective of Social Interaction
• Social process theories Depend on the process of interaction
between individuals and society Everyone has the potential to violate the
law. Criminality not an innate characteristic• Learned through socialization
• Social development theories Integrated perspective

Differential Association
• Edwin Sutherland• Crime is learned through a process of
differential association with others who communicate criminal values and advocate the commission of crimes.
• Suggests crime is not substantially different from other forms of behavior

Key Principles
1. Criminal behavior is learned.2. Criminal behavior is learned in
interaction with others in a process of communication.
3. The principle part of the learning of criminal behavior occurs within intimate personal groups.

Criminology Today: An Integrated Introduction, 8eFrank Schmalleger
Key Principles
4. The learning includes techniques of committing crimes and the specific direction of motives, drives, rationalizations, and attitudes.
5. The specific direction of motives and drives is learned from definitions of the legal codes as favorable or unfavorable.

Criminology Today: An Integrated Introduction, 8eFrank Schmalleger
Key Principles
6. A person becomes delinquent because of an excess of definitions favorable to law violation over those unfavorable to law violation.
7. Differential associations may vary in frequency, duration, priority, and intensity.

Criminology Today: An Integrated Introduction, 8eFrank Schmalleger
Key Principles
8. The process of learning criminal behavior involves the same mechanisms involved in other learning.
9. While criminal behavior is an expression of general needs and values, it is not explained by those needs and values.

DifferentialAssociation-Reinforcement Theory• Robert Burgess and Ronald Akers added
reinforcement to differential association theory.
• The same learning process produces both conforming and deviant behavior
• Primary learning mechanisms Instrumental conditioning Imitation

Criminology Today: An Integrated Introduction, 8eFrank Schmalleger
DifferentialAssociation-Reinforcement Theory• Akers' social structure–social learning
theory explains crime as a function of learning within a social structure.
• Learning is the mediating process through which the environment causes crime.
• Location in the social structure is a major determinant of how one is socialized and what one will learn.

Differential Identification Theory
• Daniel Glaser• A person pursues criminal behavior to
the extent that he identifies with real or imaginary persons from whose perspective his criminal behavior seems acceptable.
• Key is symbolic process of identification
![Page 13: Schmall crim today8e_ppt_ch8](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062412/5874b23f1a28ab1b098b621d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Criminology Today: An Integrated Introduction, 8eFrank Schmalleger
Social Control Theories
• Seek identifying factors that keep people from committing crimes.
• Focus on the process through which integration with positive institutions and individuals develops.
• Ask why people obey rules instead of breaking them.
![Page 14: Schmall crim today8e_ppt_ch8](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062412/5874b23f1a28ab1b098b621d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Containment Theory
• Walter Reckless Crime is the consequence of social
pressures to become involved in crime and failure to resist such pressures.
• Compares crime to biological immune response Sickness and crime result from failure of
internal and external control mechanisms.

Delinquency and Self-Esteem
• Howard Kaplan's self-derogation theory of delinquency
• People who are ridiculed by their peers suffer a loss of self-esteem, assess themselves poorly, and abandon the motivation to conform.
• Low self-esteem can foste delinquency, which can in turn enhance self-esteem for some delinquents.
![Page 17: Schmall crim today8e_ppt_ch8](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062412/5874b23f1a28ab1b098b621d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Social Bond Theory
• Travis Hirschi (1969)• Through successful socialization, a bond
forms between individuals and the social group.
• When the bond is weakened or broken, deviance and crime may result.
![Page 18: Schmall crim today8e_ppt_ch8](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062412/5874b23f1a28ab1b098b621d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Components of the Social Bond
• Attachment A person's shared interests with others
• Commitment The amount of energy put into activities
• Involvement The amount of time spent in shared
activities• Belief
A shared value and moral system
![Page 19: Schmall crim today8e_ppt_ch8](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062412/5874b23f1a28ab1b098b621d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Criminology Today: An Integrated Introduction, 8eFrank Schmalleger
The General Theory of Crime
• Hirschi and Gottfredson (1990)• Self-control
Degree to which a person is vulnerable to the temptations of the moment
Acquired early in life Low self-control is the premier
individual-level cause of crime.• Well-developed social bond will create
effective self-control mechanisms.continued on next slide

Criminology Today: An Integrated Introduction, 8eFrank Schmalleger
The General Theory of Crime
• Per-Olof H. Wikström's situational action theory (SAT) Individual's ability to exercise self-
control is outcome of the interaction between personal traits and situation.
• No fundamental difference between people who follow/break moral rules and those who follow/break criminal law.

Criminology Today: An Integrated Introduction, 8eFrank Schmalleger
The General Theory of Crime
• Some researchers argue that the most powerful predictors of crime are found when people with low self-control encounter criminal opportunities.
• Context of self-control an important determining factor
![Page 22: Schmall crim today8e_ppt_ch8](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062412/5874b23f1a28ab1b098b621d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Control-Balance Theory
• Charles R. Tittle• Control ratio
The amount of control to which a person is subject versus the amount of control that person exerts over others
Predicts the probability one will engage in deviance and the specific form it will take
![Page 23: Schmall crim today8e_ppt_ch8](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062412/5874b23f1a28ab1b098b621d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Labeling Theory
• Tagging Process whereby an individual is
negatively defined by agencies of justice

Copyright © 2017 by Pearson Education, Inc.All Rights Reserved
Criminology Today: An Integrated Introduction, 8eFrank Schmalleger
Labeling Theory
• After the tagging process is completed, the offender has been defined as bad. Few legitimate opportunities available Can only associate with others similarly
defined Association leads to continued crime.

Primary and Secondary Deviance
• Edwin M. Lemert• Primary deviance
Initial deviance undertaken to solve an immediate problem or meet the expectations of one's subcultural group
• Secondary deviance Deviant behavior that results from
official labeling and from association with others who have been so labeled
![Page 27: Schmall crim today8e_ppt_ch8](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062412/5874b23f1a28ab1b098b621d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Criminology Today: An Integrated Introduction, 8eFrank Schmalleger
Labeling
• Society creates deviance and deviant person by responding to circumscribed behaviors.
• Deviance is not a quality of the act but a consequence of the application by others of rules and sanctions.
• Moral enterprise Efforts by an interest group to have its
sense of propriety embodied in law
![Page 28: Schmall crim today8e_ppt_ch8](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062412/5874b23f1a28ab1b098b621d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Criminology Today: An Integrated Introduction, 8eFrank Schmalleger
Contributions of Labeling Theory
• Deviance results from social processes involving the imposition of definitions.
• Deviants are socially defined.• The reaction of society is the major
element in determining the criminality of the behavior and person.

Criminology Today: An Integrated Introduction, 8eFrank Schmalleger
Contributions of Labeling Theory
• Negative self-images follow processing by the formal mechanisms of criminal justice rather than preceding delinquency.
• Labeling by society and handling by the justice system perpetuate crime rather than reduce it.

Dramaturgical Perspective
• Erving Goffman (1959) Individuals play a variety of nearly
simultaneous social roles that are sustained in interaction with others.
• Impression management The intentional enactment of practiced
behavior intended to convey to others one's desirable personal characteristics and social qualities

Dramaturgical Perspective
• Discrediting information Information that is inconsistent with the
managed impressions being communicated in a given situation.
• Total institution An institution from which individuals can
rarely come and go and in which communal life is intense and circumscribed
![Page 34: Schmall crim today8e_ppt_ch8](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062412/5874b23f1a28ab1b098b621d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Critique of Social Process Theories
• Differential association theory Initial formulation is not applicable at
the individual level. The theory is untestable. It is not a sufficient explanation for
crime. It fails to account for the emergence of
criminal values.

Critique of Social Process Theories
• Labeling theory It does not explain the origin of crime. Little empirical support for the concept
of secondary deviance Little empirical support for the claim
that system labeling is negative It has little to say about secret deviants.

Critique of Social Process Theories
• Dramaturgical perspective Provides a set of linked concepts rather
than a theoretical frame Does not make suggestions for
institutional change Takes the theater analogy too far

• Criminal behavior tends to follow a distinct pattern across the life cycle. Crime uncommon during childhood Begins in late adolescence, early
adulthood Diminishes/may disappear by age 30–40

• Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development More diversity in ages of desistance
than ages of onset Persistent offenders suffer from a
variety of risk factors for delinquency. Offending peaks at age 17–18, then
declines.• By age 35, many subjects had
conforming lifestyles.continued on next slide

Evolutionary Ecology
• Wolfgang's birth cohort study found a small group of chronic juvenile offenders accounted for a disproportionately large share of all juvenile arrests.
• Evolutionary ecology builds on social ecology approach.
• Emphasizes developmental pathways encountered early in life.

Thornberry's Interactional Theory
• Delinquency a process that unfolds over the life course
• Childhood maltreatment may be an important element of developmental process leading to delinquency. Extent of maltreatment related to extent
of delinquent involvement later in life

Pathways to Desistance
• Largest longitudinal study of serious adolescent offending ever conducted
• Decrease in self-reported offending over time
• Longer incarceration ineffective in reducing recidivism
• Community-based supervision effective• Substance-abuse treatment has
positive effect.
