The Holy Tri-Trinity: Advent of the RAT God, Crime as Opportunity Theory and Crime Science

Behold the miracle of Crime Science, all crimes and The Tri-Trinity of the RAT Advent

Today's Church of Crime Science Yuletide Midnight Mass is given by The Reverend Hammy Wheel of The Church of Crime Science in England.

On this holy night, the very Reverend Reverend Hammy explains the miracle of how every successful criminal act in commission is the cause of itself and how Routine Activity Theory, Crime as Opportunity Theory and Crime Science are themselves the single most important cause of themselves.

Heresy can be found here. But the always right, right Reverend Hammy Wheel beseeches thee not read or consider the the work of this heretic. Crime Science depends upon thou absolute faith in its hidden and ill-defined underlying assumptions (miracles, gospels and revelations).

The right reverend Hammy Wheel's Yuletide Sermon on the miracle advent of all crimes and RAT's crime as Opportunity Theory being the cause of themselves can be viewed on video filmed at the Church of Crime Science's The Wheel lecture theater, which is specially engineered and designed for tautology and the teaching closed science:

Since Routine Activity Theory's (RAT) notion of opportunity causing crime misunderstands that RAT's three components of opportunity are in fact a truism for every successful crime in commission 'opportunity' cannot be a cause of crime because it is an irrefutable and infinitely easy to vary truism. RAT opportunity is merely a precise description of the core components present at the successful crime scene in commission. This makes it the essential data of the crime. And data should not be confused with explanations for it. Religions typically confuse data with explanations. The tautological argument that the messages in the Christian Bible are all true because they are the word of God because the Bible is the word of God is a good example. Because, absurdly, the Bible is both the data and the only explanation required for the presence of the data. And so in this clip a hamster in a wheel gives us a lecture on the illogical circularity of RAT and Crime Science's unshaken belief in it. Professor, Reverend Hammy Wheel of the University of Perversity’s Department of Junk Science, Division of Tautology, gives us The Church of Crime Science's Explanation of the miracle of the Advent of Routine Activities Theory (RAT) and why, if we follow the unscientific reasoning of RAT theory every crime must be a cause of itself. The Reverend Wheel then explains how this reasoning can be applied to RAT theory itself to explain how the theory caused itself to come into being.

An example of tautological reasoning (a logical fallacy)

Healthy Sceptic: Why do you think that the written Bible contains truth that the world was made in seven days?

Believer: Because the Bible is the written truth.

Healthy Sceptic: But how do you know that?

Believer: Because the Bible is the written word of God.

Healthy Sceptic: But you are not explaining why you think you know that it is the word of God.

Believer: In the Bible it is written that it is the word of God.

Healthy Sceptic: But how can you think you know that those words are true?

Believer: Because the Bible is the written truth.

Further thoughts

Is it better to seek to understand rather than ridicule? Does the video of the Rev. Wheel giving a squeaky voiced lecture whilst going around in his wheel serve as a useful heuristic device for explaining why something is a logical fallacy? More on that debate can be had here. And a detailed academic debunking of the fallacy that opportunity makes the thief can be had here.
