Situational offender

In criminology, the term situational offender is used in several meanings, their common denominator being nontypical character of the offense in question for the person according to some criteria. Following the classical study of Martin R. Haskell and Lewis Yablonsky Criminology - Crime and Criminality (1974), a situational offender, as opposed to a career criminal, is a person who committed a crime under certain circumstances, but normally is not inclined to commit crimes and is unlikely to repeat the offense.
