Abstract
Abstract The routine activity theory by Cohen and Felson posits that changes in the structure of the patterns of daily activity could explain the rise in crime that occurred following World War II . This approach assumes that, for a crime to occur, three necessary elements must converge in time and space: likely offenders, suitable targets, and the absence of capable guardians. This theory remains one of the leading theoretical approaches in criminology and has garnered significant scientific support.
