Can general strain theory explain white-collar crime? A preliminary investigation of the relationship between strain and select white-collar offenses

General strain theory, exposure to violence, and suicide ideation among police officers: A gendered approach

“…Since its inception, GST has been used to explain many types of deviant behavior (Agnew & DeLisi, 2012) such as white-collar crime (Langton & Piquero, 2007), substance abuse (Stogner & Gibson, 2011), and assaultive behavior (Capowich, Mazerolle, & Piquero, 2001). GST has also been used as a framework to explain deviant outcomes among certain populations such as recidivism among registered sex offenders (Ackerman & Sacks, 2012), misconduct among prisoners (Morris, Carriaga, Diamond, Piquero, & Piquero, 2012), and poor mental/physical health of imprisoned mothers (Foster, 2012).…”

Gender and general strain theory: A replication and exploration of Broidy and Agnew's gender/strain hypothesis among a sample of southwestern Mexican American adolescents

“…For example, studies had used GST to explain violence, general delinquency, nonviolent crimes (e.g., shoplifting), drug use, and even white-collar crime, and had used a variety of different samples, including criminal populations, juveniles, college students, and adults (Agnew & White, 1992;Aseltine, Gore, & Gordon, 2000;Baron & Hartnagel, 2002;Brezina, 1996;Broidy, 2001;Capowich, Mazerolle, & Piquero, 2001;Langton & Piquero, 2007;Mazerolle, Burton, Cullen, Evans, & Payne, 2000;Mazerolle & Piquero, 1997, 1998Paternoster & Mazerolle, 1994;Piquero & Sealock, 2000). Extant research had also helped to further elaborate and clarify the theory by examining the proposed processes (e.g., mediation and conditioning) of the theory and by delineating differences in types of strain (e.g., subjective versus objective), including the various impacts they had on predicting crime and delinquency.…”

A Critical Examination of Research on the Psychological Profiles of White-Collar Criminals

“…Another study (Langton & Piquero, 2007) used data originally gathered in Wheeler, Weisburd, and Bode (2000) to explore the differences between white-collar and non-white-collar offenders. Data were initially gathered from the PSI reports of 1,910 white-collar offenders (16.0% female) convicted in federal courts between the years 1976 and 1978.…”

“…Three studies utilized the same definition of white-collar crime (Daly, 1989;Langton & Piquero, 2007;Weisburd et al, 1990); however, these studies also reanalyzed data from the same previous studies (Weisburd et al, 1991;Wheeler et al, 1982Wheeler et al, , 1988Wheeler et al, , 2000. These three studies focused mainly on fraud offenses, with five of the eight offenses representing a type of fraud (Daly, 1989;Langton & Piquero, 2007;Weisburd et al, 1990).…”
