Social learning theory draws the most convincing support from research on correctional rehabilitation. Specifically, Andrews and Bonta (1998) have identified four major risk factors that influence the likelihood of reoffending. Known as the “Big Four”, these risk factors include:
1 antisocial attitude
2 antisocial peers
3 history of antisocial behavior
4 antisocial personalities
Of these four risk factors, antisocial attitudes and antisocial peers have a direct association with social learning theory. Knowing this, think of some potential ways that we could prevent people from reoffending from a social learning framework, You do not have to limit yourself to reoffending only, you may also think in general terms. That is, if social learning theory is true, what might the policy implications of the theory be? Or put another way, if social learning theory is true, what can we do to reduce delinquency/crime? Use your critical thinking skills to help you answer this question.
