strain theory  

Définition(s)

  • Strain theory proposes that socially generated pressure, and the negative emotions that flow from such pressure, drives people to commit crime. Researchers' attention to this pressure, or strain, evokes more than 60 years of scholarship that tracks Robert Merton in the 1930s, Albert Cohen in the 1950s, Richard Cloward and Lloyd Ohlin in the 1960s, and Robert Agnew in the 1980s to 2000s.
