Spanish to English Social Sciences Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.

This is from an academic legal article analysing the causes, conditions and consequences of incarceration for women. I’m stumped by the word “motivables” in the following sentence:

“… la criminalidad femenina, aunque sea escasa, obedece a causas estructurales que permanecen en el tiempo, mientras que las razones que justifican la criminalidad masculina no son ‘estructurales’ a esa condición masculina y depende de otros factores más fácilmente *motivables* y, por ende, controlables.”

I’m assuming the term is related to the legal concept in Spanish of “motivabilidad”, which I have seen defined as “la capacidad para reaccionar frente a las exigencias normativas”, but despite considerable research, I am still no closer to finding an equivalent English (UK, please) concept that would fit this context. Perhaps I'm barking up the wrong tree.

Any help deeply appreciated.
