Question

The view that victimization results from the interaction of three everyday factors-the availability of suitable targets, the absence of capable guardians, and the presences of motivated offenders-is called _____ theory.?

Answer 1

Answer: routine activity theory

Explanation:

According to this theory all of these three factors must combine in order for a crime to be considered.

This theory has been criticized because it makes assumption that a person planning to commit a crime will follow a rational thinking in making such a decision .

In most cases people who commit criminal activities are usually under the influence of drugs which affect their ability to think rationally and chances are they may not even be aware of any crime prevention techniques for them to be thinking step by step .

Criminals usually act on the hit of the moment with no rational thinking.
