Definitely family and social influence is one of the causes of juvenile delinquency. I also strongly believe that the learning theory explains why juveniles commit the crime that they do. Sometimes it is hard to believe that this theory may explain most of the reasons why juvenile crime occurs, there are other factors that may pertain to juvenile delinquency but it is proven that juveniles learn through their social groups and their immediate surroundings. Especially when a juvenile has conformed to their environment and to their way of life.

Because this is all that they know they may not see it as being wrong. Often, their mantality is focused on their wants. From a juveniles point of view it is a nessisity. An example, a pair of shoes he/she stole was something that they needed, not wanted. In other words the not only are juveniles learning what behavior gets them what they want, but they are creating wrong ideas of what is important in life. You very clearly explain Social Learning Theory. There are so many factors, and you did a good job on toucing on them. There are so many theories that can be used to look at Juvenile Delinquency!
