By uncovering the case studies of various theorists and experimenters, it is now believed this theory contains valid and valuable concepts to which are used to explain criminal activities. The influence adolescents have, no matter it being direct or indirectly, contributes to the vast majority of the actions taken by the individual. Uncovering the social learning within childhood contributes as much as adulthood, as (Wofsey, 2015) states, “According to the Domestic Violence Roundtable (2014), boys who witness their mothers being abused are more likely to become abusers later in life compared to boys in nonviolent households.” (p. 67). The media and actions of others continue to become influences on the behaviors of others, possibly leading to violent actions. Overall, the Social Learning theory continues to remain the appropriate behavior theory covering criminology. Instead of determining the acquired behavior learned during childhood or adulthood the reason to why the criminal activity occurs, it explains how others influence an individual around
