Routine Activity Theory is a criminological perspective that explains how crime occurs based on everyday activities. It suggests that crime happens when three elements converge: a motivated offender, a suitable target, and a lack of capable guardianship. This theory emphasizes that crime is more likely to occur in situations where these conditions are present. The theory highlights the importance of routine behaviors in society, such as work, school, and leisure activities. By understanding these patterns, communities can implement strategies to reduce crime, such as increasing surveillance or community engagement, thereby making it harder for potential offenders to find suitable targets without guardianship.
