What are the three elements of the Routine Activities Theory? Give an example of a situation that could lead to victimization.
What will be an ideal response?
The three elements are motivated offender, suitable target, and capable
guardianship. Motivated offender is one willing and interested in committing a crime;
suitable target is one who appears vulnerable to the offender; and capable guardianship
is some type of security measure or protection that would deter an offender from
targeting an individual or establishment. An example would be a woman working in a
night shift job who needs to take the bus home from work and has to walk through a
high crime area to get to her apartment. She may be perceived by motivated offenders
to be a vulnerable target if she does not appear to have any protective items on her.
