Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Institutional anomie theory, developed by Steven Messner and Richard Rosenfeld, focuses on how the American Dream's emphasis on achievement, universalism, and individualism can lead to anomie (a state of normlessness) and subsequently increase crime rates. Loyalty, however, is not identified within this theory as a value that promotes crime.
