Paper Summary:
The paper discusses Merton's theory of anomie and its relationship to criminal practice.From the Paper:
"The purpose of this report is to offer a critique of a criminology theory, specifically anomie and strain theory characterized by Akers and Sellers as reflective of the belief that some forms of social disorganization so impact upon individuals that social cohesion solidarity and integration are insufficient to eliminate crime and deviance. Anomie, also known as strain theory, proposes that social order, stability and integration are conducive to conformity, while disorder and the opposite of integration are conducive to crime and deviance."More papers on Criminal Theory:
