A Developmental Test of Mertonian Anomie Theory.
Menard, Scott
Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency, v32 n2 p136-74 May 1995
Carefully reviewed Merton's writings on anomie theory to construct a more complete and rigorous test of the theory for respondents in early, middle, and late adolescence. Concluded that misspecified models of strain theory have underestimated the predictive power of strain theory in general and of anomie theory in particular. (JBJ)
