Anomie, Strain and Subcultural Theories of Crime de Joanne M. Kaufman

Anomie, Strain and Subcultural Theories of Crime: The Library of Essays in Theoretical Criminology

Autor Joanne M. Kaufman Editat de Robert Agnew
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 aug 2010
Anomie, strain and subcultural theories are among the leading theories of crime. Anomie theories state that crime results from the failure of society to regulate adequately the behavior of individuals, particularly the efforts of individuals to achieve monetary success. Strain theories focus on the impact of strains or stressors on crime, including the inability to achieve monetary success through legal channels. And subcultural theories argue that some individuals turn to crime because they belong to groups that excuse, justify or approve of crime. This volume presents the leading selections on each theory, including the original statements of the theories, key efforts to revise the theories, and the latest statements of each theory. The coeditors, Robert Agnew and Joanne Kaufman, are prominent strain theorists; and their introductory essay provides an overview of the theories, discusses the relationship between them, and introduces each of the selections.
