Opportunity Theory suggests that individuals are more likely to engage in criminal behavior when they perceive opportunities to do so without significant risk of getting caught. This theory emphasizes the role of environmental factors, such as the availability of targets and the absence of capable guardians, in influencing criminal activity. According to Opportunity Theory, crime can be seen as a rational choice where individuals weigh the potential benefits against the risks. Factors like social environment, economic conditions, and community resources can either facilitate or hinder these opportunities, shaping the likelihood of criminal behavior in different contexts.
