Answer to Question 1

TRUE Meuhler v. Mena (2005 )

Answer to Question 2

The routine activities theory argues that offenders are motivated to commit crime when targets are easy to access and the chances of being caught are minimal. The theory is comprised of three key elements. These three elements include: motivated offenders, suitable targets, and an absence of capable guardians. Additionally, researchers have added other elements such as handlers, who are people who discourage potential offenders from committing crime, and place managers who discourage crime by controlling places. Thus, offenders make rational decisions to commit crime, subject to the environmental constraints they face.
