A Temporal Constraint Theory to Explain Opportunity-Based Spatial Offending Patterns.

The writer investigates the evidence supporting the theory that a proportion of offending is driven by the availability of opportunities presented in the routine activities of offenders' lives and provides a basic language with which to discuss the movement of people through time and space. He exam...

      ab: The writer investigates the evidence supporting the theory that a proportion of offending is driven by the availability of opportunities presented in the routine activities of offenders' lives and provides a basic language with which to discuss the movement of people through time and space. He examines the criminological implications of temporal constraints as a mechanism to account for several key concepts from environmental criminology. He contends that the temporal constraints of daily life are the chief cause of unfamiliarity with areas beyond the offender's immediate least-distance path. He concludes that temporal constraints, together with the locations of offender nodes, are a leading determinant in spatio-temporal patterns of property crime.
