Document Summary
Prescribed goals and prescribed means accepting or rejecting means. Ritualism crime doesn"t have to occur, going to work every day and hating it. Retreatism drugs (being super high and retreating to a new world) Rebellion is new means and new goals (political crimes and terrorism) Crime is a result of no control. Getting self-control as a child: monitor behaviour, identify bad behaviour, punish delinquent behaviour. Agnew"s reformulation of strain theory: general strain theory (gst) 1) strain accumulates from failure to achieve valued aspirations. 2) removal of positively valued stimuli (breaking up with girlfriend) Crime is used as an outlet for this strain. Negative emotions, strained responses, and coping mechanisms. Deviance isn"t necessarily crime, crimes aren"t necessarily deviance. Some things that aren"t crimes are seen as deviant (legalization of marijuana) Deviance usually precedes crime in a lot of cases (deviance in youth) Deviant behaviours that were crimes then became decriminalized (homosexuality, or more recently, legalization of marijuana)
