Answer to Question 1

Answer: Answers will vary. Some answers may include installing or increasing lighting and cameras, providing a better security department, hot-spot patrolling, and establishing of safety programs.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: routine activities theory assumes that crime is more likely when three factors are simultaneously present: (1) motivated offenders, (2) attractive targets, and (3) an absence of guardianship (such as police, bystanders, and even a dog). Because the theory also assumes that offenders are more likely to decide to commit crime when they have attractive targets and when there are no guardians, it reflects rational choice assumptions of criminal decision making and is considered a neoclassical theory.
