Routine Activity Theory:
Routine Activity Theory posits that crime occurs when three elements converge: a motivated offender, a suitable target, and a lack of capable guardianship. Developed by Lawrence E. Cohen and Marcus Felson, this theory emphasizes the role of everyday activities and routines in shaping criminal opportunities. Changes in routine activities and societal structures impact crime rates. By understanding the convergence of these elements, law enforcement and policymakers can develop strategies to prevent criminal opportunities, making it a valuable framework for crime prevention and situational crime control.
