Sutherland's differential association theory suggests that individuals are more likely to engage in criminal behavior if they are exposed to deviant values from important people in their lives, such as family members or close friends. The influence of less important people or infrequent exposure to deviant values is less significant. The timing and length of exposure can vary, but the source of influence is a key factor in shaping an individual's behavior.
