However, the CCO does not explicitly identify the specific causal
mechanisms that explain how an intervention aims to bring about
the desired outcomes. The mechanism is the theory that explains
how the intervention is intended to prevent or reduce crime
through targeting specific precursors for criminal events. To
overcome this limitation, the AIC has extrapolated the CCO to
identify eleven common mechanisms underpinning different
prevention strategies (as shown in Table 4).
