Regulating Opportunities: Multiple Roles for Civil Remedies in Situational Crime Prevention
نویسنده
چکیده
This chapter attempts to provide a first step toward systematically examining the part that civil remedies can play in situational crime prevention. First, it reviews the main features of the concept and uses the script-analytic model to describe the mechanisms by which this approach seeks to prevent crime. The model is expanded to incorporate concepts useful for examining how situational controls are implemented. Second, two main roles for civil remedies in situational crime prevention are discussed: (1) a direct role in the implementation of situational controls as formal inducements for those who influence or control crime opportunities; and (2) an indirect role, either influencing the decisions of those who control crime opportunities or increasing the likelihood that potential offenders will perceive that situational controls have been implemented.
