Does Inmate Behavior Affect Post-Release Offending? Investigating the Misconduct-Recidivism Relationship among Youth and Adults (2014, background): “For example, misconduct may result in perceptions of injustice, strains, or the labeling of inmates as “bad apples,” which, in accordance with defiance, strain, and labeling theories, respectively, would increase offending (Agnew, 2006; Bernburg, 2009; Nagin et al., 2009; Sherman, 1993).”
General Strain Theory and Delinquency (2008, unknown): “Agnew (2001, 2006a, 2006b) further elaborates on characteristics of strain most likely leading to delinquency.”
Developmental Predictors of Violent Extremist Attitudes (2017, unknown): “According to GST, crime is a type of corrective action that seeks to injure, damage, or seek revenge on the presumed sources of the strain.”
Trajectories of Adolescent Alcohol Use by Gender and Early Initiation Status (2016, background): “A third explanation for early initiation of alcohol use involves social learning (Akers & Jensen, 2006), social control (Gottfredson & Hirschi, 2003), social strain (Agnew, 2006), and/or social disorganization (Shaw & McKay, 1942).”
A General Strain Theory of Racial Differences in Criminal Offending (2008, methodology): “While preliminary tests indicate that many of the types of strain listed by Agnew are related to crime, more recent empirical tests highlight the fact that strain and anger have a strong impact on violence (see Agnew, 2006; Mazerolle & Piquero, 1997; Mazerolle, Burton, Cullen, Evans, & Payne, 2000).”
Inmate Social Ties and the Transition to Society (2008, background): “…indeed influences recidivism, the finding poses important implications for such crime theories as social bond (Hirschi 1969), social capital (Sampson and Laub 1993; Sampson et al. 1997), and general strain (Agnew 2006), which directly or indirectly place emphasis on ties to family and community.”
The strain theory of suicide (2016, background): “Fourth, Agnew (2001, 2006b) argues that a lack of coping skills is not a type of strain, but rather a mitigating factor such that people who lack adequate coping resources may be more likely to respond to strain with crime.”
Prison Visitation and Recidivism (2012, background): “Accordingly, from a general strain theory (Agnew, 2006) perspective, visitation may reduce the feelings of loss, frustration, and hopelessness associated with having one’s ties to family, friends, and community severed (Adams, 1992; Bales & Mears, 2008; Maruna, 2001).”
General Strain Theory and School Bullying (2012, background): “Additionally, although anger is a key negative emotion in GST, other potentially influential emotions that Agnew (2006) identified include depression, anxiety, shame, and frustration; these might be especially relevant to Korean youth and/or to bullying.”
A General Strain Theory of Prison Violence and Misconduct: An Integrated Model of Inmate Behavior (2010, background): “There are three areas that fall within the category of denial of positively valued goals: the disjuncture between aspirations and expectations, the disjuncture between expectations and actual achievements, and the disjuncture between just/fair outcomes and actual outcomes (Agnew, 2009).”
