From an academic research paper on crime:
Diese Nichtliniearität ist für einige potenzielle Einflussfaktoren zu vermuten, etwa die Tatbegehungsweise, die Anzahl der Taten oder das Alter des Beschuldigten.
Can I simply translate this as "the manner in which the offense was committed" or is there are term of art for it?

: Thanks -- this was the term I was looking for. Sorry, I forgot to log in before I posted the question, which makes it impossible (I think) for me now to award you points....

the method of commiting the crime?
"Ein Tat begehen" is to commit a crime. But this is not my field, so very tentative suggestion.

: This isn't either the standard term (which in this case happens to be borrowed from Latin) or, IMO, comprehensible English.
