risk and protective factors and resiliency  

Definition

  • The prevention of criminal activity is highly dependent on a thorough understanding of how a variety of factors impact (or shape) the onset, persistence, and desistance of such activities. At the micro-level of analysis, this often constitutes focusing on the risk and protective factors associated with criminal activity.
