# Theoretical analysis: Hidden techniques of pickpocketing in large-scale events From the perspective of criminology theory, pickpockets may use the following environmental and psychological factors to hide their behavior in large-scale activities： - * *Crowd density utilization**: In a crowded environment, physical contact becomes normalized, making it difficult for victims to distinguish between accidental contact and intentional behavior. -**Distraction**: When people focus on activities (such as the climax of a concert or the critical moment of a sports competition), their vigilance naturally decreases. -**Environmental cover**: Use noise, light changes or emergencies as a cover for action -**Teamwork**: Multiple people collaborate, one person creates chaos, and the other commits pickpocketing These theoretical analyses help the public understand how to protect their property, especially when participating in large-scale events, they should stay alert and take preventive measures.
