CONT

Cette théorie est résumée comme suit, selon les termes de l'auteur : La croissance des opportunités stimule celle du crime cependant que le contrôle social et la sanction pénale agissent comme des freins. Les progrès du crime encouragent l'autoprotection, laquelle, en réduisant les opportunités, fait reculer la criminalité.
