Together, these theories help explain Ramirez’s deviant behavior as the result of learned violence combined with disrupted emotional development. Social Learning Theory shows how repeated exposure to violence can shape behavior, while Attachment Theory explains how early neglect and fear can prevent the development of empathy and moral restraint. These theories highlight the powerful role of environment and early childhood experiences in shaping long-term behavior and demonstrate that deviance is often the result of developmental failure rather than biology alone (Singer & Hensley, 2004).
