Question

________ holds that if an individual associates with people who hold deviant ideas more than with those who embrace conventional ideas, the individual is likely to become deviant.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is Sutherland's Differential Association Theory.

Explanation:

This theory states that criminal behaviour is learned through observation and imitation of others. In other words, it is influenced by social interaction.

An individual could learn, for example, techniques to commit a criminal act, as well as being exposed to the motivations to carry out a deviant behaviour. Sutherland expresses, this way, that one's attitude towards crime is learned in the same way as any other subject.
