• formal vs substantive theory - - Substantive theory is developed for a specific area of social
concern. If you want to study, test, or develop substantive theory, you can examine cases within the
same substantive area. For example, you could observe several different gangs, but not attempt to say
something about delinquency in general. It could be thought of as shared theories among experts in a
certain subfield.

- Formal theory is developed for a broad conceptual area in general theory. If you want to study, test, or
develop general theory, you can compare cases within the same formal area. For example, to study
crime, you could examine various forms of crime (e.g., property, violent, white collar, drugs) without
paying too much attention to the details of each form.
