The following statement describes a macro-level theory with a causal focus on the social origin of behavior because it gets to the root of it;

¨How aspects of the immediate social environment cause individual behaviors, the broad structural or cultural aspects of society that explain rates of deviance¨

What makes it macro-level is the fact that this may apply to anyone in the world rather than the first statement which mentions ¨certain groups¨.
