    Trisha Yverie Reyes
    Sutherland's differential association theory posits that criminal behavior is learned through interaction with others in intimate personal groups, where an individual learns techniques of committing crimes as well as motives, drives, and rationalizations that are defined as favorable to criminal behavior through excess exposure compared to definitions unfavorable to law violation. This learning process occurs similarly to other forms of learning and expresses general human needs and values, but is specifically explained by its social transmission rather than those underlying needs and values alone.

    Differential Association Theory by Edwin Sutherland

    1. Criminal behavior is LEARNED.

    Differential Association Theory by Edwin Sutherland


    2. Criminal behavior is learned in INTERACTION with other persons in the PROCESS OF COMMUNICATION.

    Differential Association Theory by Edwin Sutherland


    3. The principal part of learning of criminal behavior occurs within INTIMATE PERSONAL GROUPS.

    Differential Association Theory by Edwin Sutherland


    4. When criminal behavior is learned, the learning includes
    (a)TECHNIQUES

    of committing the crime (b)the specific direction of MOTIVES, DRIVES, RATIONALIZATIONS, and ATTITUDES.

    Differential Association Theory by Edwin Sutherland


    5. The specific direction of motives and drives is learned from DEFINITIONS of the legal codes as FAVORABLE OR UNFAVORABLE.

    Differential Association Theory by Edwin Sutherland


    6. A person becomes delinquent because of AN EXCESS OF DEFINITIONS FAVORABLE TO THE VIOLATION OF LAW over definitions unfavorable to violation of law.

    Differential Association Theory by Edwin Sutherland


    7. Differential associations may vary in

    Frequency Duration Priority; and Intensity.

    Differential Association Theory by Edwin Sutherland


    8. 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.

    Differential Association Theory by Edwin Sutherland


    9. While criminal behavior is an expression of general needs and values, it is not explained by those general needs and values, since noncriminal behavior is an expression of the same needs and values.
