According to the cultural transmission theory, deviance is learned through interactions with others, particularly within social groups and through communication.

The family serves as a primary agent for cultural transmission or enculturation by teaching values, norms, beliefs, and traditions to younger generations. This process helps maintain cultural identity, heritage, and practices within a society. Family members pass on language, rituals, customs, and behaviors that are fundamental to a particular culture's survival and continuity.
