1. The main thesis of Anomie is that societies that place a higher emphasis on culturally agreed goals, such as monetary success, than on legitimate means to achieve them, tend to have higher crime rates.  In these societies, some individuals will be prevented from legitimately achieving the goals everybody is striving for, and this generates a great deal of strain or pressure on them.  What are some potential solutions that countries like the United States that tend to place a high emphasis on monetary success can do to shift the focus away materialistic accumulation?
2. What types of crimes do you think can be best explained by Anomie/Strain theory?  Why?
Answer those two questions separately, please.
