TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Carjacking and the management of natural surveillance JO - Journal of criminal justice A1 - Jacobs, Bruce A. A1 - Cherbonneau, Michael SP - 40 EP - 47 VL - 61 IS - N2 - Natural surveillance has long been a central feature of criminological discourse and is thought to be a potent source of deterrence. The current paper explores how a sample of active carjackers manages the prospect of "being seen," focusing on three specific decision-making protocols: Isolation, speed, and the exploitation of audience indifference. Conceptual attention focuses on the application of the perceptual heuristic "awareness contexts" (Glaser & Strauss, 1964) to reconcile two seemingly disconnected strands of criminological inquiry--one that positions offenders as recklessly impulsive, the other that postures them as calculative and deterrable.
