Abstract

•Social learning theory has experienced numerous criticisms it has been unable to address in regard to its concept of differential reinforcement•These criticisms can be addressed by revising the theory with learning and memory concepts present within cognitive psychology and neuroscience•New research methodologies and technologies become available to criminologists as a result of revising the theory
