Ooh, I bet the answer is B! Routine activities theory, baby. It's like a crime-fighting choose-your-own-adventure book, but with less happy endings.

Social control theory? Pffft, as if anyone actually follows the rules these days. Might as well just go with the routine activities theory and call it a day.

I don't know, the rational choice theory seems pretty convincing to me. Who doesn't love a good cost-benefit analysis when it comes to committing a crime?

Yeah, it's all about the convergence of those three elements that create opportunities for crime to occur.
