Who is to blame, the individual or society?
James T. Johnson is a 24-year-old construction worker who
lives at home with his mother. During the week, he goes to work
on time, does his work, and comes home. Occasionally, he will
go out with a group of coworkers on a Friday evening. He has
one other secret. He burglarizes homes and garages in the
neighboring communities, selling what he steals via the internet
or at pawn shops two counties over.
This past weekend, he was arrested during a burglary when he
entered a home where the home owner was present. His mother
had to mortgage her home to bail him out of jail. While driving
him home, she started to berate him, stating that he has ended
up "just like his father, a criminal" and that she will probably
end up dying early due to the stress of having a criminal son.
James was angry and blurted out that it was her fault, that this
was the only life he knew because his father never taught him
anything worthwhile. He said that his mother and father fought
all the time, and the main subject of the their fights was his
constant drinking.

, and apply this theory to James's situation.
How is this related to strain theory? Explain.
