Merton's Strain Theory
Structural & Cultural Factors
society has an unequal opportunity structure
culture has a strong emphasis on success goals & less on using legitimate means to achieve them
deviance result of a strain between...
the goals that a culture encourages ppl to achieve
what the institutional structure allows ppl to achieve legitimately
deviance is a result of not being able to achieve socially approved goals by legitimate means
The American Dream
American culture values material wealth and high status (money success)
official statistics - most crime is property crime
assumes a value consensus - not everyone's goal is money
ideology states that society is a meritocracy (everyone has equal opportunities)
reality = disadvantaged groups denied opportunities due to discrimination
strain between goal and opportunities = frustration
pressure to deviate and use illegitimate ways (strain to anomie)
pressure increases as culture emphasises winning the game to be more important than playing by the rules
Deviant adaptations to strain
one's position in the social structure affects how they adapt/respond to the strain to anomie
Conformity
strive to achieve goals legitimately (m/c w/ good opportunities)
Innovation
accept goals but use illegitimate means (lower class)
official statistics - w/c crime rates higher
stats over represent w/c - don't all deviate (deterministic)
Ritualism
given up on goals but have internalised the legitimate means (lower m/c in routine office jobs)
Retreatism
reject goals and legitimate means becoming dropouts (tramps, drug addicts, alcoholics psychotics etc)
Rebellion
reject existing goals and means but replace them with new ones = desire revolutionary change (political radicals and hippies)
shows how normal and deviant behaviour can stem from the same goals
doesn't explain non-utilitarian crime and state crimes e.g. violence, vandalism, genocide, troture)
ignores group deviance e.g. delinquent subcultures
Marxists - ignores powewr of ruling class - reinforce laws that criminalise the poor
