The Rational Choice Perspective (RCP) is one of the core theoretical approaches underlying Situational Crime Prevention (SCP). However, RCP is a controversial approach that has been heavily critiqued over the years for providing an inadequate and overly simplistic account of the psychology of offending. Recent evidence highlights that offender decision-making is much more complex than is presented by rational choice.
This book asks whether the rational choice approach exceeded its usefulness in crime prevention. Bringing together leading experts from psychology, criminology, sociology and economics, this book explores ways in which RCP can be improved to become a more robust theoretical model for SCP and considers alternative possibilities for future research.
