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.Situational crime prevention (SCP) is a framework, developed by Ronald Clarke, for reducing crime by changing the immediate situations in which it occurs rather than the dispositions of offenders. It diagnoses the specific opportunities that make a crime easy, rewarding, or low-risk and then applies twenty-five practical techniques organized under five mechanisms: increase effort, increase risk, reduce rewards, reduce provocations, and remove excuses.
