Most African universities including Nigeria have witnessed youth violent activities laced with campus confraternities. The disturbing phenomenon has led to several theories on the emergence of this worrisome trend and what could be done to stave it off. This paper reviewed the major theoretical perspectives on the campus cult-violence and its attendant psychopathological behaviour among Nigerian youths. The review is selective and confined to the theoretical and investigative perspectives which presumably best fit Nigerian models of socio-cultural background. In the light of the existing empirical research which bears upon these theoretical conclusions; a conceptual framework -psycho-infrastructuralism was proposed as an intervention model. The framework shows the linkages between campus cult-violence and key factors of psycho-personality bias, frustration-aggression hypothesis, ethno-political theory and the environmentalist perspectives. It is suggested that, as a complex dynamic process, campus cult-violence activities and its key covariates must be measured and analyzed within psycho-infrastructural model.
