Document Summary

The social bond theory came from travis hirschi (1969). He said through successful socialization, a bond forms between individuals and the social group. When the bond is weakened or broken, deviance and crime may result. Need these bonds in order to prevent swinging from conventional to criminal life. Robert agnew"s general strain theory sees law breaking as a coping mechanism for dealing with socio-emotional problems. This theory said there were three sources of strain. Failure to achieve a positively valued stimuli (not just money; eg. your sisters have kids already and are married and you feel like your not close to that; goals fallen short) 2. ) Disjunction between your expectations and your achievements (it may be real/ or perceived; not necessarily that you didn"t do well in life but when you compare yourself to others you feel that way) 3. ) Presentation of negative stimuli (a lot of abusive situations) 4. )
