General strain theory (GST) is a criminal logic developed by Robert Agnew. Since development in 1992, general strain theory has garnered many academic attention. Robert Agnew's general strain theory is considered a reliable theory, extending its main scope by accumulating a large amount of empirical evidence and providing explanations. A phenomenon other than a criminal act. Agnew recognizes that Robert Gimmerton 's first strain theory is limited in the range of possible causes of strains that are perfectly conceptualized among society, especially young people. Merton believes that society emphasizes social expectations and approved targets as well as innovation, but at the same time does not provide sufficient opportunities to achieve these goals through legal institutionalization.

General strain theory has developed a way for people to interpret the stress related crime corresponding in daily life. Agnew is considered an item service tax, but it is important to pay attention to key figures in history that have helped to develop a wider perspective that it clarified. This article outlines the foundation provided by Durkheim, Merton, and Cloward, and Ohlin 's early works. Agnew's contribution to this field will help explain why the adolescents and adults committed the crime. His research not only completes this explanation, but also develops a theoretical potential coping strategy that can prevent people from committing a crime. Agnew recognizes "a series of cognitive, emotional and behavioral adaptations to minimize negative consequences and thereby reduce the likelihood of criminal behavior by stress" (Brown, Esbensen, & Geis , 2013 p.282)
