Description
<p>This research aims at examining the effects of routine-activity lifestyle factors and crime prevention behaviors and on property and personal crime victimization among general public in Japan.Upon reviewing several environmental criminology theories such as routine activity, lifestyle, and structural choice theory, the authors suggest that the causal relationship between crime prevention behaviors and victimization is mediated by routine-activity lifestyle factors.Two repeated cross-sectional surveys were conducted in 2010 and 2014 in Japan (n = 4006). Four outcome variables of self-report victimization, including breaking and entering, car/motorbike theft and theft from car, bicycle theft, purse-snatching and molesters, were regressed on crime prevention /risk behaviors including use of lock while going out or parkin g, and use of smart-phone or music player while walking as well as routine activity-lifestyle variables of fulltime/parttime job or attending school.Logistic analysis revealed that using lock while parking reduce the risk of bicycle thefts and that women’s refraining from using smart-phone or music player while walking also reduce the risk of purse-snatching and molesters. Moreover, the elevated risk of bicycle-theft by not-using locks while parking emerges only among those other than full-time working, which empirically support structural choice model.Policy implications, limitations and future prospects of the current study were discussed. </p>
