According to both strain theory and social learning theory, how can primary deviance lead to more significant forms of deviance in individuals within a societal context?

Strain theory suggests that when individuals feel pressure to achieve societal goals but lack the means to do so, they may resort to deviant behavior as a way to cope with this frustration. For example, if a young person is unable to find a job and feels the need to succeed financially, they might turn to theft. Social learning theory adds to this by explaining that if these individuals associate with others who engage in deviant behavior, they are likely to learn and adopt these behaviors themselves. This means that primary deviance, such as shoplifting, can lead to secondary deviance, like becoming part of a gang, as they learn from their peers. Thus, the combination of societal pressures and learned behaviors can escalate minor deviance into more serious forms over time.
