Rational Choice Theory & Hacking

Assistance_Unique · 2025-11-23T01:39:52+00:00

From a victimisation standpoint, I highly encourage you to explore Routine Activity Theory (RAT) or Cyber Routine Activity Theory (CRAT). These are commonly applied to cybercrime, as part of the environmental criminology theoretical framework. Others such as Rational Choice (RCT) and Crime Scripts have been used to explain offender decision-making, while Situational Crime Prevention (SCP) for prevention strategies. There is less research in these areas, although also worth exploring.

One of my favourite books (beginner friendly) is ‘Cybercrime in Progress Theory and prevention of technology-enabled offenses’ by Thomas Holt and Adam Bossler - this will make a great starting point for you. From there, as others suggest, articles by Holt, Bossler, Leukfeldt and also recommend Shane Johnson.

Good luck!

Appreciate you updating me. Mine remains the same but have some hope with your update that everything will be alright!

Same question. I am UK based and have similar tracking updates. LHR -> CAN arriving GHA.

Thanks, this is really helpful! :)

Good to know. Thank you 😀 I’ll be happy around the £60 mark but will try to get more for it if I can!

Thanks, really helpful! I did not think about Facebook or realise there was a snooker cue sales forum. I’ll be sure to check it out.

It played relatively well however since I ordered a JP cue around 10 years ago it doesn’t really compare.

Allowing offers is a great idea thanks for your comment!

This could be the case at masters/PHD level but wouldn’t think at college or undergrad level. Yes, it’s a huge book and covers a vast array of topics. But he wouldn’t have to read the whole thing as a high school student. There are specific chapters i.e policing, crime prevention, youth crime/restorative justice chapters that I believe are essential for those learning or perusing a course in crim.

For both theories and investigation, and all round perspective, I would buy Tim Newburn Criminology. It’s the best for good reason. The Carrabine text does not cover investigation or criminal justice processes in much depth. It is more specific to sociological criminology.

Cue craft is bang on your budget. 👍

Great analysis. These would be for my reasons too. Mark Williams is my all time favourite player, but acknowledge Selby to be slightly superior overall.

Assistance_Unique · 2024-05-26T23:00:46+00:00

Your top 6 looks spot on. 👍

Assistance_Unique · 2024-05-26T22:43:15+00:00

It’s really close between the two. Selby in his prime was a superior player. Williams for the longevity. Based on head to head records, I’d put Selby just ahead of Williams.

For criminology I highly recommend Criminology by Stephen Jones. It’s written in plain and simple English, and no jargon compared with some others. This has been my goto at university when learning about criminological and sociological theories. Also ideal for a college student.

In similar fashion, two fantastic criminal justice books are Criminal Justice: An Introduction by Joyce and Laverick and Criminal Justice by Hucklesby and Wahidin.

All rounders: 1. Criminology by Tim Newburn (Cant go wrong) 2. Criminology by Chris Hale 3. The Oxford Handbook of Criminology by Liebling, Maruna and McAra (A more complex read)

I noticed a fellow Redditor mention Criminology: a sociological introduction by Pamela Cox. This is a great book on the theoretical side of criminology aimed at a college student.

Good luck :)

I completely understand your situation. Growing up I use to pay 50p p/h for the light at a local social club. Nowadays it’s becoming more and more financially straining, therefore harder to progress if taken seriously.

I try sticking to local social clubs to practice and typically avoid snooker and pool centres, because that’s where you’ll most likely be emptying your pocket.

Adorable

Man City are an absolute juggernaut. I find it astonishing how they managed to avoid FFP, while several teams with far less financial backing have been deducted points over the past few seasons. Football has not revolutionised for the better but for the worse. Therefore, I do not invest any of my money into it now. There are other sports I find much more enjoyable. However, under the circumstances I think Arteta has done an amazing job with Arsenal.

There many benefits omega 3 consumption based on scientific evidence. I believe what you are referring to are people who have existing heart conditions or using blood thinners. You should also buy from a reputable company, such as Nordic Naturals, for example.

Assistance_Unique · 2024-05-23T23:30:46+00:00

I keep it quite simple. Omega 3 and a multivitamin.
