Wikström's Law is a principle in the field of criminology that suggests the likelihood of criminal behavior is influenced by the interaction between individual characteristics and environmental factors. It emphasizes that crime is not solely a result of personal traits but also depends on the social context and opportunities available to individuals. The law is often associated with the work of Per-Olof Wikström, who studied how different social settings can either encourage or discourage criminal activity. By understanding these dynamics, researchers and policymakers can better address the root causes of crime and develop effective prevention strategies.
