Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

 According to the concept of situational crime prevention, in order to reduce delinquent activity, planners must be aware of the characteristics of sites and situations that are at risk to crime; the things that draw or push kids toward these sites and situations; what equips potential delinquents to take advantage of illegal opportunities offered by these sites and situations; and what constitutes the immediate triggers for delinquent actions.
 Delinquency can be neutralized if (a) potential targets are carefully guarded, (b) the means to commit crime are controlled, and (c) potential offenders are carefully monitored. Desperate people may contemplate crime, but only the truly irrational will attack a well-defended, inaccessible target and risk strict punishment.
 Rather than deterring or punishing individuals in order to reduce delinquency rates, situational crime prevention strategies aim to reduce the opportunities people have to commit particular crimes.
 The idea is to make it so difficult to commit specific criminal acts that would-be delinquent offenders will be convinced that the risks of crime are greater than the rewards.
 Controlling the situation of crime can be accomplished by increasing the effort, increasing the risks, and/or reducing the rewards attached to delinquent acts.
1 . Increasing the effort to commit delinquent acts
2 . Increasing the risks of delinquent activity
3 . Reducing the rewards attached to delinquent acts
4 . Increasing the shame of committing a delinquent act
5 . Reducing provocations that produce delinquent acts
6 . Removing excuses for committing a delinquent act
 Student views will vary.
