日常活动理论产生了相当大的影响，刺激了随后的理论发展，产生了关于犯罪模式的实证文献，并为预防策略的设计提供了信息。尽管迄今为止该理论有如此多的应用，但理论发展、研究和预防的有希望的方向仍未开发。自从 Felson (1986) 提出以来，处理者的概念，或者说那些控制潜在犯罪者的人，受到的关注相对较少。本文探讨了对处理员缺乏关注的原因，并通过提出解决这些问题的处理员有效性模型来扩展日常活动理论。此外，该模型明确地将日常活动理论与其两个补充理论——理性选择视角和情境犯罪预防——联系起来，以阐明处理预防犯罪的机制。最后，我们讨论了处理者有效性模型提供的广泛的预防可能性。
Routine activities theory has had considerable influence, stimulating subsequent theoretical development, generating an empirical literature on crime patterns and informing the design of prevention strategies. Despite these numerous applications of the theory to date, a promising vein for theoretical development, research and prevention remains untapped. The concept of handlers, or those who control potential offenders, has received relatively little attention since introduced by Felson (1986). This article examines the reasons for the lack of attention to handlers and extends routine activities theory by proposing a model of handler effectiveness that addresses these issues. In addition, the model explicitly links routine activities theory with two of its complements – the rational choice perspective and situational crime prevention – to articulate the mechanism by which handling prevents crime. We conclude by discussing the broad range of prevention possibilities offered by the model of handler effectiveness.
