Abstract

Crime is a social phenomenon that has affected all human societies during the life journey in different eras, in the past and present. It is linked to the human community; wherever there are human gatherings, crime is found. Research in the field of crime is not new.Crime has been affected by all the data surrounding itin different times in the same society. The changes that different societies underwent including social, political and economic events have led to changes in the quantity and type of crime. That is why there has been a clear increase in the interest in studying crime in all its aspects in contemporary sociology. That isalso why researchers are almost unanimous in believing that crime is a general social phenomenon and is considered a normal thing, and no human society is devoid of crime. But as a type of behavior, crime is consideredup normal. It destabilizes human security in and of itself and breaks the system drawn up by society. It is also a hindrance to human, economic and social development in various countries. But if crime is a social and human phenomenon in the sense that every society must have crimes in it, then not all individuals are criminalized. But why are some people criminal and not others? Why do some perpetrators quit after committing the crime, while others return to crime in one way or another? The answer to this question will be given through this study, which is based ona specific theoretical framework,by presenting and criticizing the various theories in the interpretation of criminal behavior.
