Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Routine activities theory suggests that lack of guardianship results in an increased opportunity for crime. A child playing in a park alone indicates a lack of supervision, making the child more vulnerable to crime. The other choices do not necessarily suggest a lack of guardianship. Wearing an expensive watch in a low-income neighborhood may attract attention and increase the likelihood of theft, but it does not necessarily indicate a lack of guardians. A drug addict in need of money for a fix may commit a crime to obtain drugs, but this is not necessarily related to lack of guardians. The opening of a half-way house in a low crime neighborhood may have positive or negative effects on crime, but it does not necessarily suggest a lack of guardianship.
