SummaryCrime script analysis adapts the cognitive concept of a 'script' — the ordered sequence of actions for a routine activity, like dining at a restaurant — to crime. Introduced by Derek Cornish in 1994, it decomposes a complete offense into its successive scenes and actions, from preparation through entry, the act itself, and exit, exposing the requirements at each stage and the points where intervention can break the sequence.Conjunctive analysis of case configurations (CACC) is an exploratory, case-based method for analyzing categorical crime data. Introduced by Miethe, Hart, and Regoeczi in 2008, it builds a matrix of all observed combinations of categorical attributes — the distinct case 'profiles' — and tabulates how often each occurs and what its outcome rate is, revealing how attributes act in combination rather than as isolated net effects.
