was use electrical resistance strain gage, this was to measure the strain a cantilever beam as it undergoes a known deflection. We would then compare the measurements with that of the strains predicted by simple beam theory [1]. The objective for part two was to use two electrical resistance strain gages on the cantilevered beam to measure and calculate the Poisson ratio of the beam. There were several tools need to complete this experiment [1]. First being a strain…

Like I stated earlier, the strain theory is best suited to describe why money laundering happens. It states “when goals cannot be met, people become strained, adapt to makes new goals or obtain societal goal of success through other means” (Kearns 2017). The developer of the strain theory, Robert Merton argues that “societies promote goals for their citizens and norms for people’s behavior in trying to achieve these goals” (Kurbin et al.107, 2009). The financial pressure someone may have, can…

Intro There are many different factors that come into play when dealing with the topic of Strain Theories. The first topic that will be covered in regards to the actual theory itself is the historical foundation of the theory, which is the groundwork for how the theory came into existence in the criminal justice society. An additional factor when dealing with the Strain Theory is the concepts and propositions of the theory. This will explain the foundation of the theory itself. The future of…

mechanisms in the presence of strain are also of vital importance within GST. As such, recent studies have also examined the variety of factors which condition the effects of strain on criminal coping. Such an array of factors as deviant beliefs and peer deviance (Mazerolle and Maahs, 2000) and personal resources and traits (Agnew et al. 2002) have been individually examined. However, limited study has been conducted on the effects of SES on the relationship between strain/negative emotions and…

Like a lot of other injuries, the suggested treatment for quadriceps strain is RICE: rest, ice, compression, and elevaion. Rest allows a muscle to recover and prevent further injury (Kary, 2010). Ice should be applied in 20-minute increments and never directly on the skin (AAOS, 2014), this might be helpful to decrease blood flow to the injury (Kary, 2010). Compressing the injury will prevent further swelling, and coupled with elevation it might prevent interstitial fluid accumulation in the…

pain. When it comes to medical cannabis, however, a lot depends on the strain you’re using. Many different marijuana strains claim to treat chronic pain. Which ones get top marks? Kush Strains Is there anything a good Kush strain can’t do? There are many different varieties of Kush—purple Kush, OG Kush, Hindu Kush, and Bubba Kush to name just a few. Most of these strains are heavy indicas originating from the…

Introduction Stress is the main source of deviant behaviors and also people who experience stress experience negative emotion engage in deviant behavior. General strain theory relates to the negative relationships shared with others. Agnew (1992) states that there are three different sources of stress that can result in these negative relationships: situations that obstruct achievement of positive values, situations that remove positively valued, and situations that produce negative stimuli.…

The Agnew strain theory examines deviances on the micro level or the individual level of crime. Agnew examined deviances as an adaptation to strain and identified three types of strain that produce deviances (Agnew, 1985). The first strain is the inability to achieve positively valued goals. This follows the idea of an individual's expectations and with failure to achieve the valued goal comes disappointment. The second strain is the removal or the threat to remove positively…

Structural Strain Theory by Robert Merton and the other being Travis Hirschi’s Social Control Theory. How are these theories…

General strain theory claims that strains or stressors increase the probability of negative emotions like anger and frustration. These emotions create pressure for corrective action, and crime is one likely response (Agnew1992). Robert Agnew, a Sociological researcher claims that hundreds of types of strain that fall under the major categories of strain listed. “Strain refers to “relationships in which others are not treating the individual as he or she would like to be treated” (Agnew, 1992)…
