Document Summary
Some people think that they wont get caught: also affected by the use of drugs, alcohol or mental health issues that can lead to bad decisions. The impact of increasing the certainty of punishment: hot spot policing, most crimes occur at a small number of addresses in any community, concentrates police resources on these high crime locations. Individualized deterrence: people who are heavily involved in criminal activity are individually warned that their actions are being watched, extra police watch. That crime is the result of deliberate choices made by the person based on their calculation of the risks and rewards of these choices. Routine activities theory: when crime occurs and where, relationships of victims and offender. Crime is the result of deliberate choices made by offenders based on their calculations of the risks and rewards. The activity patterns of offenders and environmental opportunities influence decisions to commit particular criminal acts. Some lifestyles expose people to more risks than others do.
