is an explanation of crime that assumes crime and victimization are highest in places where three factors come together in time and place: motivated offenders, suitable or attractive targets, and absence of a guardian.

Routine Activity Theory

Explanation:

Routine Activity Theory was first proposed by Marcus Felson and Lawrence E. Cohen.This theory focuses the situation in crime.According to this theory crime occurs when three elements converge:

1)a motivated offender

2)a suitable target and

3)an absence of guardian

This theory includes the routine activity of both the victim and offender.And lack of any of the three elements mentioned above is enough to prevent a crime.
