"the social and build environment influence the emergence of different kinds of situations. a criminogenic situation is a situation which is contributing to the motivation of individuals to break against the rules of the law. they are situations which either involve temptations for criminal acts or which are creating frictions which might evolve into criminal acts. (...) the starting-point for the control theory is that all people have enough motivation to commit crime, but that differences between individuals in self control and social bonds to the conventional society explain individual differences in inclination to commit crime. persons with low self control and weak social bonds to the conventional life have, according to the control theory, the highest inclination to commit crimes."

epidemiology... was presented in september 2006 at the fullpull festival (malmö, sweden)
