What is Understanding Anomie in Criminology about?

The theory of anomie explains that deviance arises from the contradiction between social structure and cultural norms. Durkheim defines anomie as the lack of norms that arises when there is social disorganization. Merton expands on this concept by explaining that anomie occurs when there is a discrepancy between cultural aspirations (such as economic success) and the institutional means to achieve them. The theory of criminal subculture suggests that crime arises from subcultures that are formed.
