Testing Situational Action Theory I: Individual characteristics and the perception-choice process

Thu, Nov 14, 12:30 to 1:50pm, Foothill H, 2nd Level

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract/Description

This panel presents four papers applying Situational Action Theory (SAT) to questions about the interaction between crime propensity and criminogenic exposure in crime causation, with a focus on the perception-choice process and the role of key individual differences, including gender, heart-rate and neurocognitive capacities. Data for these papers come from large-scale studies in Sweden and the UK and demonstrate the applicability of SAT to help clarify the relationships between well-known but poorly explained risk factors and crime, through consideration of the processes that link people and places to action.
