Social Contexts and Differential Expression of Crime Propensities in Relation to Gender, Adjudication, Problematic Substance Use, and Political Extremism
Sat, Nov 19, 8:00 to 9:20am, Hilton, Eglinton Winton, 2nd LevelSession Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel
Abstract
This panel presents situational analyses of the interaction between people and settings which leads to crime involvement and analogous behaviours such as substance use and violent extremism. The papers test whether situational action theory (SAT; e.g., Wikstrom 2014; Wikstrom et al. 2012) can account for differences in such behaviours amongst different groups of people with different vulnerabilities in different cultural contexts, using data collected through a unique space-time budget method that measures exposure to social environments and the convergence of certain kinds of people and certain kinds of places.
