Variation in criminal / delinquent behaviour across communities, schoolds and other social units is usually explained in terms of social disorganization and subcultural values. Agnew's macro - level strain theory (MST), however, provides an additional explanation. MST contends that macro - level differences in crime and deviance can also be explained in terms of aggregrate levels of ange and frustration. Following agnew's recommendations, the authors conduct an intiital school - level test of MST using data on aggressive student behaviour from a national sample of public high schools. The results of the assessment lend partial support to the theory, showing that student - to - student conflict is partly a function of the level of anger int he student population. Other forms of aggressive student behaviour, however, are not likewise affected. Nonetheless, the authors believe that findings are sufficiently promising to warrant further examination of MST, and they offer some suggestions in this regard.
