Strain theories


Strain theories holds that individuals engage in crime in response to certain stressors or

strains. The stressors produce negative emotions such as frustration and anger that influences

humans to commit crime. Strain theories can be used to explain Patrick Latko’s murder spree.

Patrick Latko,a 34 years old man killed Ryan Patterson,29 and his mother Dianna

Patterson,64.He killed them by stabbing them by stabbing each multiple times.

Anomie theory

This theory holds that individuals commit crime because of social culture and social

structure. The theory treats crime as a deviant cultural value that is transmitted from one group to

another (Mitchell et al., 2015). In this regard, individuals commit crime in adherence to the

values of the societies that they come from. Patrick Latko came from a society where murder

was prevalent. Though it was his first time to kill a person, his friends had murdered people.

Thus, killing was a value in the society or group he came from. He inherited this value from his

close friends. So, he did not see killing being too weary.

Institutional Anomie Theory

This theory holds that stratification that exists in the society restricts individuals from

having access to some opportunities. As a result, individuals strive to achieve the opportunities

that they are denied (Mitchell et al., 2015). This process gives excess pressure or stress. When

the pressure becomes excess, they react by doing something weary. Patrick Latko might have

killed Ryan and his mother because his stress had become too much. He did not find anyone to

share his predicaments with. So, at the slightest provocation, he was frustrated and thus

committed something deadly.
