In Merton's strain theory (1938) social structures account for the criminal tendencies found in delinquents. Individuals adapt to social pressures in five distinct ways. Adaptation I, which involves conforming to both cultural norms and means, is the most common. The popularity of this adaptation allows a society to function effectively. In contrast, adaptation IV is the least common and results in rejection of both cultural goals and means. Those who adopt this cultural model are social misfits and usually include people such as psychotics, psychoneurotics, chronic autists, vagrants, and chronic drunkards or drug addicts. Sykes and Matza's (1957) control theory postulates that acts of delinquency are generally not approved. even by criminals who commit such crimes. First, they don't believe their crimes are "just." Instead, they often show remorse or guilt when faced with the consequences of their crimes. Furthermore, this display of shame should not be completely attributed to deception to pacify the authorities. Second, criminals have respect for law-abiding citizens (Sykes and Matza, 1957). Often, if an offender's crimes are shared with law-abiding people they look up to or sports heroes, perhaps they will show deep remorse. Therefore, delinquents do not possess a set of values ​​that conflict with cultural norms. Sykes and Matza (1957) describe two other points, but in light of the two made here there is evidence that delinquency is not the creation of a subculture, because a society of those who conform cannot be overlooked. internally justified despite their repugnance towards the legal system and the rest of society (Sykes and Matza, 1957). There... in the middle of the paper... elihood. In summary, Rosenfeld and Messner (1995), Bonger (1969), and Currie (1997) provide examples of how materialism is destroying the lives of US citizens. . Materialism is not an aspect of liberal or conservative thought (Galston, 1991; Kirk, 1987). Furthermore, in both Galston's (1991) and Kirk's (1987) articles there was no attack on capitalism and the market economy. However, the liberal idea of ​​the need for social programs was proposed by Currie (1997), which is contrary to conservative ideals. Currie (1997) has also shown the need to dispel the conservative “myth” that there must always be inequalities in society. In addition to these points, these criminologists are really attacking capitalism and do not have a liberal or conservative platform. Furthermore, Chesney-Lind (1989) does not delve into the political structure of government based on liberal or conservative views.
