Robert Agnew developed the general deformation theory (GST) in 1992 based on Robert King Merton's theory of deformation. The theory explains that people are driven to commit crimes. Agnew argues that there are multiple sources of tension, which include but are not limited to; objective and subjective tensions, experienced, indirect and foreseen tensions. It also discusses which strains are most likely to lead to crime and why. Agnew believes that people commit crimes because they experience tensions or stressors, and that crime is a type of corrective action to deal with, reduce, or escape their tensions. Crime is more likely when the individual lacks the ability to deal with it legally. Tension comes from negative relationships with others Agnew says there are three. It is possible to experience a variety of tensions. Objective strains are typically events or conditions that most people generally dislike, such as being homeless or jobless. Subjective tensions, on the other hand, are what people differ in their subjective evaluations of the same events. Tensions in the Agnew states are most likely the causal factor in the crime. A severe or high-magnitude stressor, such as an unjust crime against you, typically leads to the path of criminal activity. Criminal activity is also associated with poor social control and minimal emotional attachments. Most criminals create some pressure or incentive to deal with the crime. Some stresses are easier to resolve through crime than legally. To fill this gap in GST research, the present study aims to evaluate whether non-stressful variables from social bonding theory, social learning theory, and self-control theory, as well as negative emotions, intervene and moderate the effects of tension on crime and drugs. usage. The nonstressful variables of social bonds and low self-control, but not delinquent associations, as well as trait anger and state depression, intercede with the effects of strain on crime and drug use, but the hypotheses on the moderating effects of these variables receive the least support. . The central claims of the GST need to be expanded to include nonemotional mediators of the effects of stress on crime, as undesirable arousals are not expected to fully mediate the criminogenic effects of stress.
