land rights, mining licenses, or exploration or transportation permits .

 These are illegal activities that directly harm the environment, wildlife, biodiversity, and natural
resources.

benefits of stealing outweigh the risk of getting caught.

health.

EXAMPLES:

Car window theft


 A person walks by an open car window with no people or
cameras around and sees an envelope with a large amount of
cash. The person is likely to steal the envelope.

Burglary
 A burglar targets a television in a home while the owner is away.
The owner is not present at the scene of the crime, so the theory
prefers the term "target" over "victim".
z
CONCLUSION
 Theories of crime offer valuable insights into the
complex nature of criminal behavior. Understanding
the different levels of these theories helps us to
develop more effective crime prevention and
intervention strategies. By considering both
individual and societal factors, we can work towards
creating a safer and more just society.
