Answer to Question 1

Routine activities theory argues that if a motivated offender and a suitable target converge in time and space with a lack of a capable guardian, a crime will occur. During times when more motivated offenders are present, crimes rates will be higher. In addition, when more suitable targets are present, crime will also increase. Items are considered more suitable when they present little risks and are desirable. How suitable a target item is can be influenced by such things as its value and size. A capable guardian can be anyone who could potentially intervene and stop a crime. Therefore, a capable guardian can be a criminal justice official such as a police officer or an ordinary citizen.
