“…Numerous studies conducted by various researchers also confirm that green spaces contribute to reducing the level of crime in cities. This is evidenced by studies carried out in diverse locations, including Toronto, Canada (Onifade, 2020), Brisbane, Australia (Kimpton et al, 2017), New Haven, USA (Gilstad-Hayden et al, 2015), Tehran, Iran (Ambrey and Shahni, 2017), metropolitan areas in Indonesia (Sukartini et al, 2021), and cities in South Africa (Venter et al, 2022).…”

Purpose:The aim of this research is to identify socio-economic determinants of crime at an intraurban scale. To achieve this goal, the following two research questions were formulated: Which types of crimes are determined by socio-economic variables on a intraurban scale? Which socio-economic variables determine crime the most? Design/Methodology/Approach: The study's design and methodology for the City of Szczecin involved systematic data collection from formal repositories (Szczecin City

“…Other studies have shown that green spaces in housing environment can be associated with increased survival in older populations and lower stroke mortality ( [33]; [19]). In other studies by [4]; [22]; [32] have identified an indirect benefits of urban green spaces in the reduction of crime in cities in the developed world. A sustainable environment needs to be protected as described by [3] and green environment propels sustainable environment.…”

“…In a study carried out by [32] in three largest metropolitan areas in Indonesia to know the effect of green space on the probability of crime occurrence, the study observed that with the reduction of green spaces in the studied area, there is an increase in crime. Findings from the study also argued against the common perception of relating urban green spaces with violence and crime.…”

Security of lives and property in housing environments is one of the basic necessity in the provision of public housing. The nature of maintenance given to green spaces in public housing environment can affect the level of security of lives and property. However, due to the antecedents of public housing, its unique population and the problems it creates for law enforcement agencies on security issues, there is need to evaluate how sustainable maintenance of green spaces within public housing could affect the level of security of lives and property. The public housing constructed by the Lagos State Development and Property Corporation (LSDPC) in Lagos State, Nigeria was used for this study. Primary data was collected from 1036 housing units in 12 different estates of the LSDPC in Lagos State, using the research tools of the questionnaire and structured observation schedule. Descriptive statistics and categorical regression analyses were carried out on the data. The results showed that the green spaces around each housing units were sustainably maintained, than jointly owned green spaces by all residents of the housing estates and this has implications to the level of security of lives and property in the housing estates. It is recommended that public housing estate’s green spaces be designed to allow for sustainability in maintenance by each housing units, which would lead to a general sustainable maintenance view of all green spaces available in the public housing environment.

“…Potential criminals could interpret this in the same way and consider these conditions to be inhibiting the opportunity to commit a crime. In a study in Indonesia using data provided by urban wards (municipal administrative divisions), Sukartini et al (2021) found that an increase in greenspace resulted in less crime and a decrease in greenspace resulted in more crime. Several studies have been published on the impact of greening blighted vacant lots.…”

Background. The positive impact of greenspace on human health has been well documented, including several literature reviews and meta-analyses that have examined the broad benefits of nature connections. Researchers have also examined the relationship between nature and crime reduction and identified potential mechanisms underlying this outcome, such as the physiological impact of nature, lowered temperatures due to a reduction in the heat island effect, and places for community interaction. However, a critical shortcoming of this study is the lack of deep community involvement in the research process. Community-based participatory research is critical to ensuring that the findings are meaningful to communities and translatable. This study expands on recent literature reviews on greenspace outcomes by focusing on community-engaged research. By gathering and summarizing studies on this topic, we address two subjects:1) strategies that can be used to improve community engagement, and 2) environmental factors that impact community outcomes in greenspace settings. Methods. To explore these issues, we used a modified version of Arksey and O'Malley’s framework for a structured literature review, employing the Web of Science, EbscoHost, Scopus, ProQuest Global, and Google Scholar databases. Results. We retrieved 772 publications using permutations of keywords related to violent crime, green spaces, and community-based participatory research. After eliminating duplicates, the reviewers worked in parallel to evaluate 700 titles and abstracts and identified 51 potentially relevant papers, 10 of which met the requirements for inclusion in this analysis. Discussion. Based on the studies explored in this literature review, we identified the following strategies for improving community-engaged research: building partnerships, facilitating power-sharing, utilizing community-specific indicators of success, embracing perspectives of communities of color, and empowering community researchers. In the sample of studies described here, the factors contributing to the relationship between greenspace and violent crime were maintenance, activity programming, green interventions, and community involvement.
