-- theory explains deviance as the outcome of social strains due to the way the society is structured. For some people, the strain becomes overwhelming to the point where they do deviance as a way to manage the strain.
The local potential is the depolarization of a cell below threshold. After the cell is sufficiently depolarized (and reaches threshold), it fires an action potential down the axon.
