Anomie Theory Frank Abagnale’s deviant acts are best described by Anomie Theory. He is innovative in receiving wealth. He decided to out smart the police and the government by forging checks. He made hundreds of thousands of dollars by forging checks. He also is rebellious. He broke away from society and rebelled against it. He was innovative by creating a fake pilot’s license. He was innovative by being confident in himself and acting as a doctor, pilot, and teacher. He rebelled against society by going on the run, by not going to college, and then by forging his Harvard Law Degree. He also can be classified under retreatism. He didn’t finish high school and didn’t go to college. Instead he faked those degrees and went out into the world and made money off of fake degrees and licenses and confidence.
