4. Well Routine Activity Theory says for crime to occur there has to be motivated offenders, suitable targets and an absence of capable guardians of persons or property. And having a full-time job the stuff they do can become routine very easily allowing them to know who is where or who is doing what giving them an idea of what they can do and when they can do it. In a paper called Routine Activity and Victimization at Work said "activities performed as part of the occupational role affect the risk of victimization at work to a much greater degree than demographic characteristics of workers (Lynch 1987)."

5. Routine Activity Theory

The Routine Activity Theory focuses more on the opportunities provided by criminals the the behavior that is provided within this. One thing adds on to another, so with all the elements mixed together needed to commit for crime or the opportunity of crime, all the elements are needed to do so. If an opportunity is presented to a person, the person not only needs to be willing to do so, but the target should present itself. This theory can impact a work place in various ways. A person may have the opportunity to steal, cause violence, and various others. Theft is a big one in a work place and in basic society. If someone loses something, it is easy for someone to just take advantage of an item laying out in the open with nothing attending it to replace the missing object. Someone may not be deviant, but if the opportunity presents itself, one may take advantage. There are various things that could apply to this.
