CRIMINOLOGY QUESTION

The correct answer is B. The presence of an overbearing guardian distinguishes routine activity theory from situational crime prevention.

Explanation:

Situational crime prevention is a criminal theory that establishes that all crime can be stopped before its development if the situations or contextual conditions that favor its development are modified.

Thus, the presence of a policeman in a certain place, for example, modifies the context for the criminal, who knows that he will not be able to carry out his crime in the place where this policeman is. Thus, the presence of a guard limits the development of the crime, by modifying the context in which the criminal seeks to develop his activity.
