2018 journal article

Scared or Attached? Unraveling Important Links in Strain-Crime Relationships Among School Students

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF OFFENDER THERAPY AND COMPARATIVE CRIMINOLOGY, 63(8), 1175–1201.

By: A. Kuptsevych-Timmer, O. Antonaccio*, E. Botchkovar* & W. Smith n

author keywords: delinquency; general strain theory; adolescents; social bonds; perceived risk of sanctions
MeSH headings : Adolescent; Crime / psychology; Fear; Female; Humans; Interpersonal Relations; Juvenile Delinquency / statistics & numerical data; Male; Parents; Psychological Theory; Social Control, Formal; Stress, Psychological / classification; Students / psychology; Surveys and Questionnaires; Ukraine
TL;DR: Findings from negative binomial regressions and the KHB decomposition procedure demonstrate that fear of sanctions and levels of social control mediate the relationships between strain and delinquency to a different degree, depending on the type of strain experienced. (via Semantic Scholar)

Anomic Strain and External Constraints: A Reassessment of Merton's Anomie/Strain Theory Using Data From Ukraine

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF OFFENDER THERAPY AND COMPARATIVE CRIMINOLOGY, 59(10), 1079–1103.

By: O. Antonaccio *, W. Smith n & F. Gostjev*

author keywords: Merton; anomie/strain theory; delinquency; Ukraine
MeSH headings : Adolescent; Anomie; Criminals; Female; Humans; Juvenile Delinquency / statistics & numerical data; Male; Models, Theoretical; Socioeconomic Factors; Ukraine
TL;DR: This study provides a new assessment of Merton’s anomie/strain theory and fills in several gaps in the literature and finds limited support for moderating effects of perceptions of risks of sanctioning and social bonds on anomic strain–delinquency relationships. (via Semantic Scholar)
