also, it was economic factors for that q about retirement

self-interest is people getting satisfaction from crime... borderline American psycho.

economic is where they want some form an economic gain, hence it was eco

No it is Self-Interest. Economic refers to someone being in poverty/disadvantage and using crime to alleviate their struggles. Self-Interest is about greed, which related more to the scenario.

Yes, but they were trying to fund a luxury holiday or something similar from memory. Their desire for money was motivated more by materialism than a desperate need for cash

Upon further examination, it genuinely falls under both categories. Economic factors are usually conducted by but are not limited to low socioeconomic households/individuals. As per the Cambridge textbook, "offenders view criminal activity as a way of gaining economic benefit", which would fit this question (the economic benefit being money for a holiday). Self-interest also applies since it is technically 'greedy' but that's a very subjective term and what quantifies materialistic desire is a bit vague.

I am pretty confident in saying they will permit both answers as it can be argued for both.

PLSSSS I HOPE SO
