Publisher's Synopsis

Agnew (Emory U.) introduced students to one of the leading theories of crime: that people engage in crime because they experience strains or stressors. He looks at why certain types of strain are most likely to cause crime, why some people are more likely than others to respond to stress with crime, how the theory explains life-course and demograph.
