Question

Bob Tang is wanted for his alleged involvement in the murder of a man in Alameda County, California, on May 14, 2017. It is alleged that Tang murdered the victim, dismembered the body, and then fled to his homeland of Cambodia. On November 2, 2017, a felony arrest warrant was issued for Tang in the County of Alameda, California, after he was charged with murder. On March 26, 2019, a federal arrest warrant was issued in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, San Francisco, California, after Tang was charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution (FBI).

Applying the Social Learning Theory to Bob Tang's case, we could hypothesize that Tang's violent behavior was learned through his interactions and observations of others. Social learning theory emphasizes the impact of associations on criminal behavior. Tang's connections with deviant peers could have reinforced his criminal tendencies (Akers, 2011). If he belonged to a social circle where criminal activities were glorified or normalized, the influence of such associations might have been a contributing factor.

You will select a non-deterrence criminological theory that examines either biological, psychological, or sociological causes of criminality. You will apply what you have learned to explain the criminal conduct you selected. Apply a positivist theory you have studied and describe how it explains your selected criminal behavior.
