Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rational choice theorists believe that potential offenders weigh the potential benefits and costs of committing a specific crime, leading to offender-specific crime patterns. They also believe that the characteristics of the crime itself, such as its location and targets, influence the decision to commit the offence, leading to offence-specific crime patterns.
