DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nGuardianship\, a key element of informal social co
 ntrol\, is central to two influential theories in criminology and sociolog
 y: routine activity theory and collective efficacy. Two distinct forms of 
 guardianship\, reactive and preventative\, should be distinguished. Reacti
 ve guardianship involves an individual or a small group responding to an o
 ngoing criminal incident or a potentially harmful situation. People balanc
 e their prosocial motivation to help others against the safety and social 
 costs associated with intervening. Preventive guardianship involves action
  by community members that prevent crimes from happening in the first plac
 e—the ideal outcome. I will describe ongoing research on both types of g
 uardianship and discuss implication for policy and future research.\n\nBio
 : \nDaniel S. Nagin is the Teresa and H. John Heinz III University Profess
 or of Public Policy and Statistics at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsb
 urgh. His research focuses on the evolution of criminal behaviors over the
  life course\, the deterrent effect of criminal and non-criminal sanctions
  on illegal behaviours\, and the development of statistical methods for an
 alyzing longitudinal data. He is\, amongst others\, the recipient of the A
 merican Society of Criminology’s Edwin H Sutherland Award in 2006 and th
 e Stockholm Prize in Criminology in 2014. He is also the co-editor of Crim
 inology and Public Policy. \n\nPlease register attendance via our website:
