Discussion - Locking Doors, In the Did You Know section

Discussion - Locking Doors 

In the “Did You Know” section at the beginning of Ch. 9 of your textbook, it says, “Simple things like locking our doors, hiding our purses and wallets under the car seat, not flashing money in public, and avoiding places that make us feel unsafe are known as routine precautions. These small behaviors probably prevent more crime than police, courts, and corrections put together.”

Do you agree or disagree with the statement? What statistical data or experiments could be used to support your argument? Now apply the same argument to the workplace. Does the same logic apply? Last, when looking at your arguments, are you using the same logic of situational theory or any other criminological philosophies or theories covered in this course?
