If we study the history of criminal theory, spiritual and natural theories are considered the main theories on the causation of crime. During the medieval period, spiritual explanations were regarded as punishment given by God for doing wrong things and any natural disasters such as floods, fires, etc. it was valued as a curse of great power. In the modern period, the basic theories of crime causation are classical theory, biological theory, psychological theory, cultural theory, and conflict theory. The classical theory explains that free will acts as the focus of crime by giving the example of the free will of children who can commit a crime that cannot be paid for once committed. In the 19th century, the biological theory attracted public attention when Cesare Lombrose suggested that criminals cannot be identified by examining their body structures, number of toes, etc., providing research data that determined that people municipalities are more involved in crime than militants. Now, this theory is followed by the modern biological theory which indicates that chemical imbalance in the brain causes violent activities. It supports a notable example of violence that occurred due to decreased amounts of the chemical serotonin and drug and alcohol abuse (Fishbein 1990). Fishbein (2000) mentioned the relationship between damage to the frontal lobe of the brain and antisocial behavior. Similarly, psychological theory explains that the person's mental illness condemns crime and is supported by the Freudian concept of Id, Ego and Superego. Freud stated that any emotional trauma in children aged 5 years and older can result in a long-lasting negative influence. Likewise, the most common but important theory is the sociological theory which deals with the conviction of a crime… half of the paper… Aird McCue, “Domestic Violence” 2nd ed.
