At a basic level, then, GST essentially predicts that an individual felt strained, was either successful or unsuccessful at adapting to the stress through coping mechanisms, and if unsuccessful, resorted to any means necessary, including illegal, to correct the original cause of the strain.
This theory best explains why crime occurs in Chicago. In other places it's more because of lacking in the lower levels of Mazlow's Hierarchy. In Chicago, the crime is more about self actualization (or the strain of it), since there's plenty of housing, food and fresh water that would otherwise make a criminal more ferral because of basic needs not being met.
The American Society of Criminology is definitely not the leading society for criminology in the world, and evidence for climate change being the dominant driver of crime is lacking. Unfortunately it looks like the American Society of Criminology, just like the APA, may have become politicised. It’s a shame.
