Problem
Bob grew up in the foster care system and now, at age 19, is living unsheltered. Sometimes he stays in shelters for people experiencing homelessness, but his stuff gets stolen and he has witnessed numerous altercations there. He feels safer living on the street. During the day, he asks passersby for some money to buy food and basic necessities. Yesterday, no one stopped to offer him anything. He was so hungry and knew that he needed to eat. He stole a bag of groceries from Superstore and has now been arrested by police. Which theory best describes why Bob committed this crime? Why is this theory the best fit?
