Definitely B. It’s about the situation, not just the people.

I’m torn between Routine Activities Theory and Social Control Theory. I need to remember which one focuses more on the absence of guardians.

I feel like we had a practice question on this! It was definitely about the elements of crime, and I think it was Routine Activities Theory.

I remember discussing how the presence of motivated offenders ties into Rational Choice Theory, but that doesn't seem to fit the whole question.

I think this might be related to Routine Activities Theory, but I'm not entirely sure.
