“…Methodological concerns about spatial scale have been of lasting importance to geographers and some criminologists (see Brenner, 2001;Gehlke & Biehl, 1934;Openshaw, 1984;Smith, 1992;Smith & Dennis, 1987), and have more recently developed a much larger presence in criminological research (Hipp, 2007;Hipp & Boessen, 2013;Hipp et al, 2012;Hipp et al, 2017;Weisburd et al, 2009). Scale is thought of as a container for sociospatial activity.…”

This paper provides a comprehensive review of space-and place-based criminology, with a focus on the relationship between crime, the built environment, land use, and/or physical geography, through sociological and critical geography lenses. An historical overview of major criminological and spatial theories and contributors is presented before examining the current state of the field. In honor of critical geography's goal to be "a people's geography," 1 this paper aims to be an accessible overview of space-and placebased criminological research, especially for readers who are unfamiliar with these topics.

“…Andresen and Malleson (2011) similarly found much more longitudinal stability in violent crime patterns at the street segment level than at dissemination areas (similar to census block groups) or census tracts in Vancouver. Still, street segments alone do not explain the distribution of crime, and so understanding concentration and stability at the neighborhood or community level is also important for explaining crime patterns (see Hipp et al, 2017; Jones & Pridemore, 2019).…”

Going Beyond the Blue: The Utility of Emergency Medical Services Data in Understanding Violent Crime

National victimization data suggest less than 50% of violent crime incidents are reported to the police. Official reports of crime to police, however, are often the only type of data used for the analysis of violence problems, the identification of geographic concentrations of violent crime, and the selection of targets for police and prevention resources. Yet, the question remains, are estimates of violent crime prevalence and location distorted from a unilateral reliance on police data? Here, we examine whether emergency medical service (EMS) data collected by the fire department are spatially concentrated in the same way as police data and whether these data can help identify instances of violence unreported to police in the city of Seattle between 2009 and 2011. We find high levels of concentration in both police and EMS data and evidence that new information is learned about the location of violence problems from utilizing multiple data sources. Overall, these findings contribute to a small but growing body of work that demonstrates the utility of nonconventional data in the identification of crime and harm concentrations of interest.

“…Liquor stores are related to increased crime rates where for instance, streets containing bars and pubs experienced more crime than streets lacking them (McCord et al, 2007;Rengert et al, 2005;Roncek & Bell, 1981;Roncek & Maier, 1991). Retail stores have also been found to be related to elevated crime levels in varying scales (Bernasco and Block 2011;Boessen and Hipp, 2015;Hipp et al (2017). Transit-related land uses have also been associated with increased risk of crime with subway stations attracting crime and influencing the distribution of criminal activity.…”

Other land uses e.g., transit-related land-uses, retail stores, schools, lack of use of land e.t.c have also been related to crime (Roncek and Faggiani, 1985;Roncek & LoBosco, 1983;Roncek and Faggiani, 1985;Wilcox et al, 2004;Bernasco & Block, 2011;Boessen & Hipp, 2015;Hipp et al, 2017;). It was apparent that the relationship between land-uses and crime is far more complex as pointed out by Cozens et al (2019).…”

The role of geographical juxtaposition in Kabalagala

Geographical juxtaposition has been cited as a concept least studied by CPTED experts. Additionally, Urban planners and designers seem to have sparse knowledge on the applications of the geographical juxtaposition concept. This study evaluates the relationship between bars and pubs and the crime prevalent streets of Kabalagala township CBD. Kabalagala township as a crime hotspot within Kampala City presents appropriate conditions to support this study and generate more interest in CPTED. Kabalagala is an entertainment hotspot with numerous bars and pubs, gambling parlors, and other entertainment businesses. This paper focuses on analyzing the built environment of Kabalagala in terms of the principle of geographical juxtaposition. The outcome of polling property/business owners and police/private security firms suggested that bars and pubs created conditions necessary for crime generation, attraction, and facilitation in unison with the geographical juxtaposition concept and may be linked to property crime on adjacent streets.
