Compare and contrast Merton’s strain theory with Shaw and McKay’s social disorganization theory. In your answer, you should specifically compare and contrast the two theories in terms of the following: a) The structural framework of each theory (i.e. what causes crime according to each theory?). Compare and contrast b) The policy implications of each theory. Give at least three policy implications for each theory. Compare and contrast c) The limitations of each theory (i.e. what are the major problems with each theory; what crimes do they not explain?) Compare and contrast While comparing and contrasting just those three points between both theories, also discuss the assumptions of each theory, the theoretical perspective, theoretical history & development.
