Strain Theory Revisited: Economic Goals, Educational Means, and Delinquency.
Farnsworth, Margaret; Leiber, Michael J.
American Sociological Review, v54 n2 p263-74 Apr 1989
Defends Merton's theory of strain and crime against recent criticism on the grounds that conceptual reinterpretations have differed from Merton's original statement. Through the analysis of data reported by 1614 juveniles, examines the empirical and theoretical implications of the reconciliation of strain implied in its current use. (Author/BJV)
