PPT-Anomie/Strain Theories of Crime

Challenge biologically based theories Argue internal drives and motives are not implicated in crime Rather the motivation for crime is derived from society Societal forces pressure people to commit crime. The lack of transparency introduced by poorly anchored math ematical models the psychological persuasiveness of stories and the way the profession neglects relevant issues are suggested as explanations for how what we perhaps should see as displays Developmental Theories. Human personality and behavioral patterns emerge through a developmental process that unfolds from birth onward. What occurs early in life may shape what occurs later in life. Deviance (7).

Doing Theoretical Integration. Up to now, we have examined many micro- and some macro-level theories including the three major theories in contemporary criminology. Learning. Anomie/strain. Control . where δ is the deformation and L is the original length, thus ε is dimensionless. . Stress-Strain Diagram . Suppose that a metal specimen be placed in tension-compression testing machine. As the axial load is gradually increased in increments, the total elongation over the gage length is measured at each increment of the load and this is continued until failure of the specimen takes place. Knowing the original cross-sectional area and length of the specimen, the normal stress σ and the strain ε can be obtained. The graph of these quantities with the stress σ along the y-axis and the strain ε along the x-axis is called the stress-strain diagram. The stress-strain diagram differs in form for various materials. The diagram shown below is that for a medium carbon structural steel. .
