abstract="Agnew has integrated and re-organized several leading criminological theories and results of empirical researches arguing that this new general theory has the capability of explaining all crime types. Effects of five life domains (self, family, peer, school and work) on individuals' behaviors and decision making process have been explained in this theory. These five life domains encompass and affect whole lifespan of a person starting from the early childhood. These life domains not only affect individuals but also have mutual effect on each other. In addition, several external factors have effects on individuals, and in order to commit crimes, these external factors should interact with other variables (biological factors, family, school, etc.). If these life domains and other external factors have negative effects on individuals, the probability of offending will increase. On the other hand, if they provide positive support, their effects will protect individuals from engaging in crime. Additionally, this theory tries to explain the reasons why some individuals engage in criminal behaviors while others do not even though they share the same environments. Prior crime has been found one of the strongest factors that cause subsequent crimes. The core elements, variables that cause crime, crime prevention policies, and limitations of this theory are analyzed in this paper.
