21	Jewellery store robbery: a victim risk and intervention perspective Zannoni, Elio 30 April 2008 (has links) The exploratory study investigated jewellery store robbery from a victim risk and intervention perspective. An explanation of the phenomenon was offered based on the information obtained from a review of the existing literature, case studies, personal observations at jewellery stores, discussions with jewellers, a scientific questionnaire submitted to jewellers, and semi-structured and structured interviews conducted with a group of knowledgeable respondents and victimised jewellers respectively. A predominantly quantitative research method was applied. The research findings obtained during the study enabled a proposal for a jewellery store robbery intervention model based on the situational crime prevention perspective, which is inclusive of decisional, environmental, situational, procedural, personnel and business-oriented strategies. / Criminology and Security Science / M.A. (Criminology) Robbery intervention model Situational crime prevention Crime opportunity Victim facilitation Victim precipitation Victim vulnerability Victim risk Robbery victimisation Commercial robbery Jewellery store robbery Jewellery store Jeweller 364.15520968 Robbery -- South Africa Robbery -- South Africa -- Prevention Jewelry theft --- South Africa Victims of crimes -- South Africa Violence -- South Africa -- Prevention
