Problem
You have successfully completed your internship at the juvenile center, and it was one of the most interesting and rewarding experiences you have had. In order to receive final credit for the internship, you must write one final paper explaining your thoughts about what you consider to be the most influential theory of criminal or delinquent behavior. Your paper must also discuss what you learned about behavioral theories of crime and behavior as you worked with clients at the juvenile center.
Provide an explanation of strain theory and why it best explains delinquent behavior and then discuss a prevention program that utilizes strain theory. Provide at least two specific examples of how strain theory is reflected in the prevention program.
