Fred is a 20-year-old who lives in a large metropolitan city. He graduated high school but decided that he would get a job immediately following high school instead of going to college. He thought making money at that moment was more important than furthering his education. Now, Fred realizes he is stuck at a dead-end job making minimum wage and is tired of working so many hours and making so little money. Fred is thinking about committing burglary in order to supplement his income. Fred would also consider his needs, skills, and prerequisites to commit burglary. What would not be an offender-specific assessment that Fred would make?

Tatiana Booth · Answer 1

Fred's immediate need for money would not be an offender-specific assessment that he would make.

Explanation:

The individuals who are intentional offenders are not tied back by the fear of doing wrong or due to the inclination towards virtue. But that does not appear to be the case with the ones who commit crime because an inevitable need to commit a crime arises. In Fred's case, it is clear that he is not motivated by factors of bringing convenience in life by opting to commit burglary.
