Klappentext zu „Companions in Crime “
The idea of peer influence as a cause of delinquency has been around at least since the 1930s, when Edwin Sutherland offered his theory of differential association. Although that theory and similar ones remain popular and have strong empirical support, more recent theories reject the idea of peer influence altogether.
