“…Rengert ( 1975 ) found that female offenders were more likely to commit crimes within their own residential area than male offenders, hence making shorter trips, a result supported by Pettiway ( 1995 ) and by Groff and McEwen ( 2005 ) .

The "Geotechnologies and the Environment" series is intended to provide specialists in the geotechnologies and academics who utilize these technologies, with an opportunity to share novel approaches, present interesting (sometimes counterintuitive) case studies, and most importantly to situate GIS, remote sensing, GPS, the internet, new technologies, and methodological advances in a real world context. In doing so, the books in the series will be inherently applied and re fl ect the rich variety of research performed by geographers and allied professionals.Beyond the applied nature of many of the papers and individual contributions, the series interrogates the dynamic relationship between nature and society. For this reason, many contributors focus on human-environment interactions. The series are not limited to an interpretation of the environment as nature per se. Rather, the series "places" people and social forces in context and thus explore the many sociospatial environments humans construct for themselves as they settle the landscape. Consequently, contributions will use geotechnologies to examine both urban and rural landscapes.

“…But, these patterns vary across demographic and community-related measures and for different crimes. For example, regarding demographics, women typically offend closer to home than males (Pettiway 1995;Rengert 1975). White offenders travel farther, on average, than black offenders (Hayslett-McCall et al 2008;Pettiway 1995;Rengert and Wasilchick 2000).…”

And, older offenders tend to travel farther distances than younger offenders, even when looking only at juvenile offenders (Bichler, Christie-Merrall, and Sechrest 2011).…”

“…Because of the brief duration of the crack high, most sellers must o er service 24 hours per day to cater to customers repeatedly returning for varying amounts of the drug (Inciardi, Horowitz, and Pottieger 1993;Johnson, Natarajan, Dunlap, and Elmoghazy 1994;Chitwood et al 1996;Jacobs 1996). Although some researchers have suggested that most crack sales occur on the street (Skolnick et al 1990;Pettiway 1995), other researchers have suggested that crack sales occur primarily indoors and that crack houses are generally the primary retail outlets (Mieczkowski 1990(Mieczkowski , 1992Inciardi, Lockwood, and Pottieger 1993;Chitwood et al 1996;Knowles 1996).…”

This art icle examines the structure and process of illicit drug-dealing activities. Motives, mechanics of operat ions, and strat egies used to avoid detect ion and to ident ify law enforcement are all examined, providing a clearer picture of the lifestyles lead by drug dealers. On the basis of qualitative interviews conduct ed with participants in a drug court diversion program in a mid-sized, midwestern city, the means by which drug dealers initiate and maintain a career in drug dealing, how deals are transact ed, and how law enforcement is avoided are explored.The potential for the development of an illicit drug market was recognized early in the twentieth century. With the implementation of legislative rest rictions, licit drugs were becoming increasingly more difficult to obtain. As noted by Lichtenstein, a physician at a New York City prison in 1914, Several individuals have come to the conclusion that selling ''dope'' is a very pro table business. These individuals have sent their agent s among the gangs frequent ing our city corners instructing them to make friends with the members and induce them to take the drug (opium). Janitors, bart enders and cab men have also been employed to help spread the habit . The plan has worked so well that there is scarcely a pool room in New York that may not be called a meeting place of drug ends. The drug has been made up in candy and sold to school children. The conspiring individuals being familiar with the habit forming
