⭐ Develops and defends a rationality-based objection to some types of crime preventive nudges. Specifically, I argue that influences of this kind that subverts procedural rationality are presumptively wrong to employ and give several examples of when and how this may happen.

🛑 Suggests that autonomy-based concerns of various kinds which have been raised against the used of (arational) nudges in other context, seem to have little bite against nudge-like techniques for crime prevention.

👎 Argues that concerns based on the potential adverse effects that such arational influences can have on its targets capacity for self-control has little bite against a suggestion of using arational influences like (some) nudges to prevent crime.

I know little about the specific debate or the data on why people report the views on AD that they do. But in theory it could be both if respect for autonomy and harm prevention are seen as mid-level principles. Just another way to undergird your point of there not being issues of consistency here.
