Abstract Show This differential coercion theory, which integrates several existing criminological perspectives, develops the thesis that coercive forces create social and psychological dynamics that lead to chronic criminal behavior. Coercion can be direct or indirect. Direct coercion is called "interpersonal coercion," which is the use or threat of force and intimidation aimed at creating compliance through fear. Although this often involves the actual use or threat of physical force in an interpersonal relationship, this is not a necessary component. Coercion also involves the actual or threatened removal of social supports, which provide both material and emotional needs of individuals. Indirect coercion is referred to as "impersonal coercion," which is the pressure that arises from structural arrangements and circumstances that seem beyond individual control, such as economic and social pressure caused by unemployment, poverty, or competition among businesses or other groups. This impersonal coercion creates a sense of desperation that seems to compel an individual toward immediate action. Coercion, it is argued, is an important part of the etiological mix for understanding the production of chronic street criminality; however, the author also applies the theory to exploratory offenders and white-collar criminals. The book also presents a critique of current crime control measures, which rely heavily on coercion, and offers in their place a comprehensive crime-reduction program based on consistent, noncoercive practices.

Integrated TheoriesA theory is simply a logical explanation of facts, beliefs, and attitudes. Theories of deviance and crime attempt to explain why some individuals commit criminal or delinquent acts and others do not. These theories can be macrolevel theories (i.e., they seek ... locked icon Sign in to access this contentSign in Get a 30 day FREE TRIAL

There are many criminology theories but no agreement on which (if any) have been falsified by research. This is perceived as a problem because theory is supposed to guide interpretation of past research and chart the direction for future research. Some criminologists argue that the effort to falsify theories must continue because the theories contradict each other. Others argue that the theories are different but not contradictory, so they can be integrated with each other. Criminology theories can, however, be integrated in ways that rule out most competitive testing. This new interpretation brings criminology theory more into line with common research practices and enhances the possibility of scientific progress.

Rights & Usage This item is part of a JSTOR Collection. What is the integrated theory of crime?Abstract. Theoretical integration is the process of joining ideas from two or more criminological theories into a single theoretical statement, often to provide a more complete and accurate explanation of crime or delinquent behavior.
What are the 3 integrated theories?The three integrated theories that will be discussed in this paper are Cloward and Ohlin Differential Opportunity theory, Robert Agnew General Strain theory, and lastly Travis Hirschi's Social Bond theory.
What is an example of an integrated theory?The best example of this type of integration is Elliott et al.'s (1979) integrated theory in which strain leads to weak conventional bonds to society, which, in turn, leads to associations with deviant peer groups, and thus deviance.
Which theory is accepted as one of the most valid theories of crime?That is, the general theory of crime assumes that people can exercise a degree of control over their own decisions and, within certain limitations, control themselves. The general theory of crime is accepted as one of the most valid theories of crime.
