General strain theory has been a very popular theory in Criminology for the fact that it offers an expanded view of why adolescents and individuals gravitate towards deviance and crime.
The original strain theory has its roots in Merton’s Anomie Theory and Cohen’s Social Control Theory, which deal with the social structures that might influence an individual to commit crime. General strain theory has been around for over a decade now, and had developed out of earlier theories especially the original strain theory itself.
