that controls crime heavily is a clear example of Robert Merton’s Strain Theory‚ which explains how people adapt to attain‚ or reject‚ the various goals set by society. Psycho-Pass shows the principles of Merton’s Strain Theory when showing how the different main characters live under the Sybil System and adapt to a heavily law enforced society. The character of Akane Tsunemori might be labeled as conformist under Merton’s theory. She is one of the many
