“…These studies support the utilization of the sample used in this particular study in order to further examine the usefulness of the theory in examining victimization during adolescence. For example, Jackson et al (2006) examined prior and current deviance of male college students in relationship with athletic participation, fraternity participation, and opportunity. Analytic moment structures (AMOS) analysis indicated that college-level deviance was a significant indicator of sexually aggressive behavior.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate Internet usage in a sample of college undergraduates, as well as to consider their experiences with online victimization, through variables representing the three constructs of Routine Activity Theory. A survey was administered to 100-level courses at a mid-sized university in the northeast, which questioned respondents on their Internet behaviors and experiences with victimization during the high school senior and college freshman time period. The findings of the study indicated that participating in behaviors that increased exposure to motivated offenders and target suitability in turn increased the likelihood of the three types of victimization measured. Conversely, taking protective measures against victimization to improve capable guardianship did not decrease the likelihood of victimization. This research provides a significant contribution to the literature as there are few explanatory studies that attempt to identify causal reasoning for the victimization of adolescents online.

“…In the past, routine activities theory has been applied to a number of criminological aspects through the use of surveys (Jackson, Gilliland, & Veneziano, 2006;Tewksbury & Mustaine, 2001;Tewksbury & Mustaine, 2003). In the present study, though routine activities are analyzed, emotional guardianship serves as the main focus.…”

First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude to my chair, Dr. Ojmarrh Mitchell, who from the beginning, has served as a pillar and a guide in completing my thesis. During this entire process, Dr. Mitchell was very thorough in his revisions and was always available to answer my questions. He served as my mentor and shared his wisdom throughout the course of this endeavor. He allowed me to draw from my own intellectual capacity and provided the finishing touches on those ideas. For these reasons, I will always be thankful for having served under his leadership and direction. I would like to thank my committee members, Dr. Wilson Palacios and Dr. Shayne Jones, who also contributed to the overall development and successful completion of this manuscript. Dr. Palacios assisted me with the merging of criminological and sociological theory, which led to the birth of my thesis idea. As for Dr. Jones, his assistance was provided both in and out of the classroom. Through his courses, I have been able to hone my writing skills, which was necessary and quite helpful throughout this process. His honesty and guidance also allowed me to better prepare for the daunting task of completing my thesis, for which I am truly grateful.

“…This lifestyle/routine activity theory has been widely explored in studying the differential risks of victimization in the United States and other Western countries ( Andromachi et al 2004 ;Bernburg and Thorlindsson 2001 ;Cass 2007 ;Cohen et al 1981 ;Debra 1993 ;Forde and Kennedy 1997 ;Jackson et al 2006 ;Kanan and Pruitt 2002 ;Kennedy and Forde 1990 a ;1990 b ;Massey and McKean 1985 ;Miethe et al 1987 ;Mustaine and Tewksbury 1998 ;1999;Osgood et al 1996 ;Spano and Nagy 2005 ;Tewksbury and Mustaine 2001 ).…”

Using offi cial police records, interviews with motorcycle taxi drivers and the participant observation of their working activities in Tianzhi city, China, this paper examines how and why a dimension of social stratifi cationhousehold registration ( hukou )is related to the risk of robbery victimization and attempts to evaluate the effectiveness of applying lifestyle/routine activity theory to contemporary urban China. It discloses that migrant motorcycle taxi drivers are highly overrepresented in robbery victimization. Their night-time working practices enhance their chances of being robbed by both increasing exposure to likely offenders and reducing the presence of capable guardians. The study further explores how a structural factormotorcycle ban policyshapes different routine activities between migrant and resident motorcycle taxi drivers and, by extension, differential risks of robbery victimization. The paper concludes by pointing out the importance of locating lifestyle/routine activities in a larger Chinese macro-social structural context. The outcome is one of the very fi rst ethnographic analyses of crime conducted in situ in China.
