Falsifying Merton's Macro-Level Anomie Theory of Profit-Motivated Crime
The objective of our article is straightforward. We seek to derive, and to confront with data, an empirical model of Robert K. Merton's macro-level, anomie theory of profit-motivated crime.

Consistent with the…

Results show solid, but imperfect, support for these claims. The analysis then…
