Answer to Question 1

Answer: a

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Answers should include a description of routine activities theory, including a review of the three factors that must converge for a crime to happen: the presence of a motivated offender, a suitable target (either a vulnerable person or unattended valuables), and the absence of a capable guardian who can effectively discourage crime. The nature or pattern of routine social interactions or activities affects the likelihood that these three elements converge and therefore contributes significantly to the volume and type of crime in society. Answers should also discuss how social changes in society during the 1960s and 1970s, such as increased involvement in social activities outside the home, affected the likelihood of each element and increased the risk of various types of crime.
