Abstract
Abstract Unlike other theories that concern backgrounds or characteristics of offenders (e.g., social learning theory, self‐control theory, social control theory, and social disorganization theory), routine activities theory argues that crime or victimization happens when the opportunity arises in the context of everyday life. Regardless of criminal motive that is more or less present for an average person, a vulnerable person who is present in a particular time and place may find no reachable help, rendering him/her an easy target for potential offenders.
