Crimes of Opportunity- Don’t Be a Victim

A crime of opportunity is a crime that is committed without planning when the perpetrator sees he or she has the chance to commit the act at that moment and seizes it. Such acts have little or no premeditation. So, don’t leave items of value (i.e. purses, cell phones, laptops, iPods, etc.) on your desk, in your work area, or in a study room unattended.
