Isi artikel

General strain theory (GST) is usually tested by examining the effect of strain on crime. Researchers, however, have little guidance when it comes to selecting among the many hundreds of types of strain and have trouble explaining why only some of them are related to crime. This article build on GST by describing the characteristics of strainful events and conditions that influence their relationship to crime. Strains are said to be most likely to result in crime when they : 1. are seen as unjust 2. are seen as high in magnitude 3. are associtated with low social control, and 4. create some pressure or incentive to engage in criminal coping. Drawing on these characteristics, it is predicted that some types of strain wil not be related to crime, including types that have dominated the research on strain theory, and that others will be related to crime, including types that have been neglected by empirical researchers.
