Sexual Assault on the College Campus (2012, background): “…literature has concluded that association and identification with peer groups reinforce particular attitudes and behaviors that are socially desirable and appropriate according to the group, despite the illegality of such behaviors (Akers, 1973; Sutherland, 1947; also see Pratt et al., 2010).”
The Overlap Between Offending and Victimization Among Adolescents (2013, background): “Despite empirical support for offending as an explanation of crime (Pratt et al., 2010), there is little in Sutherland’s and Aker’s theories to suggest why someone might be more likely to be victimized.”
