routine activities theory  

Definición

  • A criminological theory developed by Lawrence Cohen and Marcus Felson in 1979. In their theoretical analysis, Felson and Cohen contend that crime is the result of the simultaneous convergence of three conditions: (1) a motivated offender, (2) a suitable target (object, place, or person), and (3) the absence of a suitable guardian (camera, police, neighbor, etc.) Routine activities theory maintains that each of these elements must be present for crime to take place.
