Abstract: Agent Based modelling is widely used for presenting and evaluating a social phenomenon. Agent based modelling helps the researcher to analyze and evaluate a social model and its related hypothetical theories by simulating a real situation. This research presents a model for showing the behavior of an offender that is greatly influenced by volunteering of people on the offending tendencies. It is observed that how the offending behavior of someone urges others to do the same criminal act or violation of norms. And how can volunteering make the offender feel shameful of his doings and motivate others to volunteer in likewise situation in future. An agent based Model is presented and simulated to evaluate and validate the conceptualization of presented social dilemma. This model is simulated by asking some questions with exacting focus on the offending behavior of an agent. This study evaluates all the simulated results from the presented model to describe theoretical foundation spreading of offending or criminal behavior. Moreover, it validates the role of volunteering in the decrement of offending tendencies of the people as it presents an understandable situation in which offending of someone increases the offending tendencies of audience. Moreover the results of this research show that the volunteering decreases the offending tendencies of not just offender but also of the audience.
