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.

A theory of “defiance” helps explain the conditions under which punishment increases crime. Procedural justice (fairness or legitimacy)…

(2) How can we explain why females engage in crime? With respect to the first question, the authors suggest that gender differences in types of strain and…
