You learned strain theories. For this assignment, you will listen to an interesting podcast interview (podcast will open in a new window) conducted with Dr. Robert Agnew, who developed the General Strain Theory. During the interview, Dr. Agnew describes the potential physical and social consequences of climate change and then applies his General Strain Theory of crime to explain how climate change might become a driver for increasing crime rates in the years ahead. Play the podcast and then answer ALL the following-lquestions:
1 – How does Dr. Agnew apply strain theory to climate change? In the podcast, you will find at least 5-6 ways through which the climate change may lead to strain and in turn, increased crime rates.
2 – Now critically evaluate this argument about the relationship between climate change, strain, and crime. Do you find this argument persuasive? Why or why not? Support your answers and own ideas with evidence from the course material.
