a"structural-choice" theory of victimization that combined macro-level forces that lead to a criminal opportunity structure(these forces include demographic and other changes in society. not unlike what Cohen and Felson(1979) described) with micro- level processes that influence particular decision-making by offenders with respect to target selection. Miethe and Meier(1990: 245) presented this as a"union of criminal opportunity and lifestyle/exposure perspectives" Strictly speaking, this union does not merge disparate theories, but brings together the micro-level and macro-level aspects of routine activities into a single model. Most researchers, even today, tend to include in their models only the core concepts from the 1979 explica- tion of routine activities(the convergence in time and space of a likely offender, a suitable target, and the lack of a capable guardian), while effectively ignoring con- textual considerations. But it is not evident that incorporating these considerations is theoretical integration, because the matter of context has been discussed quite fully in the routine activities literature,
