TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - The effects of life domains on cyberbullying and bullying: testing the generalizability of Agnew's Integrated General Theory JO - Crime and delinquency A1 - Choi, Jaeyong A1 - Kruis, Nathan E. SP - 772 EP - 800 VL - 65 IS - 6 N2 - In 2005, Robert Agnew published his book Why Criminals Offend in which he synthesized an array of theoretical predictors of crime and delinquency into a parsimonious integrated general theory. He argued that delinquency is influenced by mechanisms found in five distinct life domains: self, family, peer, school, and work. Using longitudinal data from South Korea, the current research tested the generalizability of Agnew's theory by applying it to bullying and cyberbullying.

RESULTS from a negative binomial regression model provided mixed support for Agnew's theory as a general theory of crime. The significant effects of life domains were found to differ across types of bullying.
