The notion that some individuals may engage in crime due to the attraction of getting away with it is known as arousal theory.
Arousal theory states that we seek an optimum level of excitement or arousal. People with high optimum levels of arousal will be drawn to high excitement behaviors, like bungee jumping. While the rest of us are satisfied with less exciting and less risky activities.
