Which term is used to refer to the problem-solving framework that analyzes crime patterns through a triangle?

• A. Court
• B. Crime Triangle
• C. Complainant
• D. Confession

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is a way to understand crime by looking at how three elements come together: the offender, the target or victim, and the location (often with guardianship playing a role). This three-point framework is used to analyze where and why crimes happen and to identify points where interventions can prevent them. The term that names this problem-solving framework is Crime Triangle. By examining how the offender interacts with a vulnerable target at a particular place, interventions such as improving guardianship, reducing target attractiveness, or deterring potential offenders can be planned to disrupt opportunities for crime. The other terms—court, complainant, and confession—describe parts of the legal process or people involved, not the framework for analyzing crime patterns.
