Abstract

Situational crime prevention (SPC) is a theory-based framework that prevents crime by altering the opportunity for offending. This approach aims to manipulate the immediate risk, reward, effort, provocations, and excuses for offending, and is effective without depending on increased apprehension and conviction. In addition to this, using this framework, adjustments before, during, and after the crime event can reduce crime. Recent research has demonstrated the utility of a situational prevention approach to reducing the opportunity for academic misconduct issues generally (Hodgkinson, et al. 2015) and contract cheating specifically (Baird & Clare, 2017). This chapter builds on these papers and related contract cheating research to discuss the utility of SCP for reducing the opportunity for contract cheating in its various forms.
