This article explores the possible factors contributing to prostitution through an exploration of Agnew's General Strain Theory (GST) in a sample of current and former female prostitutes and a sample of male 'johns.' By understanding the factors that lead women to engage in prostitution along with the factors that lead men to solicit prostitution, a better understanding of the entire criminal interaction can be achieved. Furthermore, examining prostitution through an application of GST allows for a critical review of the theory through identifying strengths and weaknesses. Ultimately the study shows that both the men and women involved in prostitution experience strain, although different strains motivate their behaviors, and while their emotional and behavioral responses are different - the difference leads to participation in the same criminal event.
