Strain Theory / Anomie by Robert K. Merton in Criminology and Sociology

TRANSCRIPT: criminologyweb.com/strain-anomie-theory-in-criminology-and-sociology-by-robert-k-merton/
In this video, I explain strain and anomie theory by sociologist Robert K. Merton. Merton developed a deviance typology based on the idea that strain and anomie (lawlessness or normlessness) elicit responses in people, one of which may be to commit crime. Strain / anomie theory is Robert K. Merton’s best known contribution to sociology and criminology. The American Dream, its opportunities and lack thereof are central to the theory. I discuss the meaning and definition of anomie and strain theory as well as real life examples.
