Criminologist {{harvp|Lynch|1987}}, using "___domain-specific" models, demonstrates that occupation-related activities generally have a stronger impact on the risk of victimization at work than sociodemographic characteristics. The specific attributes of activities pursued at work exposure, guardianship, attractiveness—were all related to victimization in ways predicted by activity theory.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Lynch|first=James P.|date=1987|title=Routine Activity and Victimization at Work|jstor=23365566|journal=Journal of Quantitative Criminology|volume=3|issue=4|pages=283–300|doi=10.1007/BF01066832|s2cid=143507394}}</ref> These findings identify specific attributes of occupations that could be modified to reduce the risk of criminal victimization at work. Victimization of workers at work will decline if mobility, public accessibility, and handling of money as part of the occupational role are reduced.

In ''A Routine Activity Theory Explanation for Women's Stalking Victimizations'', criminologists {{harvp|Mustaine|Tewksbury|1999}} conducted a self-administered study in the third quarter of 1996 to 861 college or university female students from nine postsecondary institutes from eight states of the US. The study reveals that women's victimization risk of stalking can be explained by individual lifestyle behaviors, including employment, ___location of residence, substance use (drug and alcohol) and self-protection.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Mustaine|first1=Elizabeth Ehrhardt|last2=Tewksbury|first2=Richard|date=1999|title=A Routine Activity Theory Explanation for Women's Stalking Victimizations|journal=Violence Against Women|volume=5|issue=1|pages=43–62|doi=10.1177/10778019922181149|pmid=31454870|s2cid=73067179|url=https://semanticscholar.org/paper/877c776d5266702fdf83cb464d242d26e7f98991}}</ref>

{{harvp|Felson|Cohen|1980}} establishes that those who live alone are more likely to be out alone and to have little help in guarding their property, they probably face higher rates of victimization for both personal and property crimes. The 30.6% increase in employed and married female’s participation rates not only subjects these women to greater risk of attack on their way to and from work, but also leaves their home and car less guarded from illegal entry. The 118% increase in the proportion of the population consisting of female college students places more women at risk of attack when carrying out daily activities as students, since they may be less effectively protected by family or friends.
