An animal is indifferent till it observes a change in its environment. This observation is presented to the Will: is this a chance to satisfy a need? The urgence of this need is carefully weighed against the chance on success and all other motives that are present (this mental process often takes place without obvious awareness). When one motive has won of all other motives, the individual must act accordingly: another action would not be possible. The psychological law which describes this process is named Causal Determinism
In the criminal pursuit a countermotive must be added that will be stronger than all other present motives, so that a potential criminal will not commit the crime.
This countermotive must be serviced by law enforcement: Effectivity of law enforcement = risk of being caught × severeness of punisment.
