| Abstract |
To understand choices made by thieves in the products they steal, Clarke (1999) proposed the CRAVED theft model, later modified to CRAAVED, to specify characteristics of products most desirable to thieves (such products are more Concealable, Removable, Accessible, Abundant, Valuable, Enjoyable, and Disposable). The CRAAVED elements of ten internationally identified IUU crab and lobster species were analyzed with sixteen control species by using a matched case–control design. Results indicate that IUU crab and lobster species are those that are more Abundant, Valuable, and Enjoyable. Consequently, local fisheries and enforcement agencies need to prioritize safeguarding the most exposed species from exploitation by extending guardianship on these known IUU crustaceans, as well as alerting conscience and assisting compliance by incentivizing restaurants to create sustainable menus, as well as using these menus as a means to inform consumers about these vulnerable species. |
