Abstract
A robust social learning theoretical paradigm provides the framework wherein human service workers are better able to understand some aspect of the reality of African American males exposed to aggressive models of social interaction during their formative years, and who in turn imitate the behavior within the societal context (Aymer, 2008). The purpose of this research is to review the literature of social learning theory with a focus on African American males exposed to violence with the intent of providing direction to human service professionals that work with this population.
