Abstract
Everyday routine activities affect the convergence in space and time of motivated offenders, suitable targets, and capable guardians. When locations of convergence are studied in this context, they tend to be viewed as part of a much larger pattern of movements through one's normal activity space. Although our understanding of crime and victimisation risk has been advanced considerably by studying places where incidents occur and our movements to-and-from them, far less is known about our everyday routine activities within locations that are part of our daily activity patterns and how our behaviour while at these places influence criminal opportunities - including opportunities for preventing crime. In response, the current study explores the impact of individuals' daily microroutines undertaken while at home on opportunities to supervise and act as guardians over their suburban surroundings. Using a sample of Brisbane suburban residents who completed semi-structured interviews (N = 20), we show how daily macroroutines affected when residents are home; but more importantly, how their daily microroutines influenced when - and for how long - they are able to engage in supervision over their residential areas. Implications for opportunity theories in general and measurement of guardianship behaviour, in particular, are discussed.
