Well, that's one theory used to explain the rampant criminal element in black communities. Strain theory basically says that due to how they know they are perceived, they commit crimes. When a young black man walks into a store he knows eyes are on him, more than they would be on anyone else. If you lived with that kind of "strain" everywhere you went, eventually you'd lash out.
