| 17127. STRAIN THEORY IN CRIMINOLOGY. This paper provides a brief overview and analysis of strain theory as originally formulated by Robert K. Merton and as modified and expanded by Cloward & Ohlin’s work on opportunity theory in subcultures. The analysis also looks at Rosenfeld and Messner’s update of Merton’s anomie theory and their focus on the institutional imbalance of power (with the economy dominating other institutions including family, polity, and education) and the difficulty of addressing the crime problem in the U.S. without making sweeping changes to underlying social institutions. KEYWORDS: crime theory anomie strain robert merton causes crime. Written 2003. 10 pages; 18 footnotes; 6 bibliographic sources. 2,251 words. | $70 |
