Author Description

CrimComics offers a new way to approach criminological theory by engaging students with impactful, highly visual illustrated texts. Each CrimComics Issue traces the development of the theory--placing it in social and political context--and demonstrates its application to the real world. The last page of each Issue features review questions and key terms. Issue 8: Social Learning Theories explores the development of social learning theories, including Edwin Sutherland's Differential Association Theory, Burgess and Akers's Differential Association-Reinforcement Theory, and Akers's Social Learning Theory.
