Résumé	Crime 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.	Routine activity theory explains predatory crime not by the supply of motivated offenders but by the everyday structure of legal activities that brings offenders, targets, and the absence of guardians together in space and time. Proposed by Lawrence Cohen and Marcus Felson in 1979, it argues that crime rates can rise even when offender motivation is constant, because changes in how people work, shop, and spend leisure time alter the opportunities for crime.
