- Abstract
This study presents a partial test of Agnew's general theory of crime and delinquency. Relying on a sample of adolescents and employing measures of the self, family, school, and peers domains, this study examines the contemporaneous and lagged effects of these four life domains on the likelihood of consuming alcohol and using marijuana. This study also assesses the contemporaneous and lagged effects of the life domain variables on themselves and on one another. Overall, the results lend support for Agnew's general theory. The results also reveal several notable puzzles and underscore the complexity of this potentially important contemporary theoretical perspective.
