When we analyzed our results we chose to apply two theories; Howard S Becker’s ”Labeling Theory” and Edwin Sutherland’s ”Differential association theory”. This study shows that there are plenty of factors that make an individual start a criminal lifestyle. One of the studies' most important results was that if an individual feels exclusion at an early age it leads to deviant behavior. Factors as exclusion, thrill-seeking, affiliation, and status, make the individual look for a motive that drives them towards the search for success. (Less)
