Here, approaches like the D principles focusing more sharply on more detailed offender-related but situational intervention mechanisms, may offer more flexible and more tailored structuring of knowledge, thinking and communication among practitioners, and between practitioners and researchers.
HIV screening is recommended in as a situational intervention, i.e. in endemic areas [ 3].
While these examples demonstrate different types of displacement may occur post-intervention, it is not suggestive that net displacement follows situational-based interventions.
Indeed, Guerette and Bowers' (2009) meta-analysis of all situational-based interventions found that the majority of interventions did not lead to displacement and that no study has ever recorded net displacement.
Thus, we recommend a combination of surveys with local communities, population estimates of the species of interest, and other metrics such as the number of poaching incursions captured by either CCTV be used to evaluate whether situational-based interventions work in the field.
The results of this study suggest the effectiveness of a single episode situational information intervention to improve psychological parameters in the ICU.
Information was compiled across eight types of challenges (health and health care, nutrition and food security, education, protection, placement, psychosocial development, socioeconomic status, and stigma/ discrimination); and also assessed was strength of evidence for situational and intervention findings.
In addition, practitioners should apply situational crime prevention interventions to crime epidemics in developing nations and evaluate if and how interventions were able to reduce crime and if displacement was evident.
It is a fundamental principle of situational prevention that interventions need to be tailored to the specific dynamics of the crime problem in question.
