The Revival of the Strain Theory

Researchers are looking for explanations on minor crime patterns and crime rates. They advocate many theories as an explanation and strain theory is one of them, but as with many other theories, strain theory has been eliminated decades ago. Until recently, this theory was given a new life by criminologist Robert Agnew. Robert Agnew introduced this new development as a general strain theory. GST is the first hypothesis unrelated to the social class and cultural variables, just like the meaning of the previous Émile Durkheim's anomie theory.

In this paper, we propose a crime that overcomes criticism against general crime strain theory and strain theory so far. In the first part, distortion theory is distinguished from social control and differential association / social learning theory. In Part 2 I will explain the three main kinds of strain. (1) a positive strain is expected to achieve or goals value, (2) strain to predict the actual or removal of positive stimuli, and (3) the actual or expected performance of a negative stimulation. In Part 3, guidelines for strain measurement are presented. In the fourth section we will explain the main adaptation of the corresponding changes and explain the factors affecting the default adaptation option and the delay-free adaptation option.

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, the first strain theory of Robert Gimmerton is completely conceptualized society, in particular the scope of the cause of the strain is considered among young people has confirmed that there is a limit. Merton, society believes that innovation and at the same time to focus on goals that have been approved and social expected to occur, but it does not provide enough opportunity to achieve these goals through at the same time legal institutionalized.
