REGULATING OPPORTUNITIES: MULTIPLE ROLES FOR CIVIL REMEDIES IN SITUATIONAL CRIME PREVENTION

This chapter attempts to provide a first step toward system- atically examining the part that civil remedies can play in situational crime prevention. First, it reviews the main features of the concept and uses the script-analytic model to describe the mechanisms by which this approach seeks to prevent crime. The model is expanded to incor- porate concepts useful for examining how situational controls are im- plemented. Second, two main roles for civil remedies in situational crime prevention are discussed: (1) a direct role in the implementation of situational controls as formal inducements for those who influence or control crime opportunities; and (2) an indirect role, either influenc- ing the decisions of those who control crime opportunities or increasing the likelihood that potential offenders will perceive that situational con- trols have been implemented.
