Answer:

The answer is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Situational crime prevention (SCP) intends to prevent crime by changing the environmental factors that influence the outcome of a crime. For this reason, the first three options apply to SCP, as they focus on the immediate posibility of commiting a crime.

Intervention programs for children are part of traditional crime prevention strategies (i.e. they intend to alter the person's criminal tendencies).
