Campus Lectures: Crime as Moral Actions
​​​​​​​To create effective crime prevention policies, it's important to understand why people commit acts of crime and embark on criminal careers. Grounded in Situational Action Theory (SAT) and its Developmental Ecological Action Model (DEA model), and its testing, this talk will cover four main parts: the problem and limitations of common approaches to crime prevention; the causes of crime events; the drivers of people’s criminal careers; the implications of all this for the direction and focus of developing effective integrated crime prevention policies.
The lecture will be held by Per-Olof H. Wikström (PhD, Docent, Stockholm University), FBA, Emeritus Professor of Ecological and Developmental Criminology at the Institute of Criminology, University of Cambridge.
