Abstract
Marcus Felson is not only an exceptional scholar, a great colleague, and a good friend, but he is also a man who is very free with his ideas. This chapter focuses on just one of the many ideas that Marcus has given us over the years that we have known him. We picked this idea in particular because it fuses together two of the subjects that we know are dear to his heart. The first subject, which we are sure will be mentioned on numerous occasions throughout this book, is guardianship. The second is how temporal patterns of crime can reveal clues as to the possible causes of crime or their prevention.
