The study was formerly based at Anglia Ruskin University, is based at Loughborough University, and is inspired by previous work carried out at the Institute of Criminology at the University of Cambridge.</p><p dir="ltr">The study has been specifically designed to test key research questions and explore testable implications of theoretical explanations of how we feel, think, and behave. One such example is Situational Action Theory (SAT). SAT is a detailed theory of action which specifies (i) key causes of crime and the situational processes that link them directly to action, as well as (ii) key causes of the causes of crime and the developmental and selective processes that link them indirectly to action. TCP uses both established and innovative methods to track participants’ personal and social development and their psychological, social and behavioural outcomes.</p><p dir="ltr">A comprehensive description of the programme, including all materials, facilitator instructions, and scripts, is available in the TCP Programme Handbook.
