Robert S. Agnew's general strain theory argues that microlevel stresses from negative interpersonal, peer group, or familial relationships produce strain and may be more important in explaining deviance and crime than macrolevel strains like poverty or societal inequality. Agnew also includes strains resulting from the inability to achieve goals, loss or removal of positively valued stimuli, and the presentation of negative stimuli as other sources of strain.
