Actions speak louder than words
Many human interactions may be thought of as a series of anticipations of what others will do and the resultant tailoring of behaviour. This paper looks at police-public interactions in terms of actions relative to expectation and the implications for applicable research. The decision of victims not to report a crime is used to illustrate the approach. Specifically, the proportion of decisions to report a crime that were police related, changes i…
‘Focused Deterrence’
Deterrence is a subject of discussion across the disciplines of criminology and Security Studies. However, scholars in the latter discipline have access to a far richer relevant terminology. The terminology of deterrence in Security Studies has particularly grown in relation to terrorism. This paper seeks to use that terminology as an aid to the detailed examination of an approach to crime reduction: Focused Deterrence. Use of Focused Deterrence …
Global crime science
Following on from a previous paper advocating changes in the editorial processes of peer-reviewed journals, the present paper espouses the conduct of multiple local victimisation surveys as an affordable route to a pan-European crime science. Local surveys have a local impact which national surveys lack, and meta-analysis of survey results enable more general conclusions. The Latvian local survey reported in the chapter revealed wide inequality o…

More Angry than Scared? A Study of Public Reactions to the Manchester Arena and London Bridge Terror Attacks of 2017
Although public reaction to disaster has been the subject of much research, reactions to acts of terrorism have been studied less, sustaining a common assumption that fear is the generic response. The present paper tests this assumption through a survey of reactions to the Manchester Arena bombing and London Bridge attack of 2017, and the findings suggest that an important likely additional modal citizen reaction to such events is one of anger at…
Are victims of crime mostly angry or mostly afraid
Crime Concentrations
This chapter begins by sketching out where the practice of policing may be heading, and what we need to do differently, so as to arrive at a roughly envisioned future ethically and in good order. A police presence at all places at all times being impossible, the practical issue is where and when to place officers or their technological surrogates. It then considers optimized distribution of effort and resource, given the central aim of fairness i…
Is It Just a Guessing Game? The Application of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) to Predict Burglary
Crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) aims to reduce crime through the design of the built environment. Designing out crime officers (DOCOs) are responsible for the delivery of CPTED by assessing planning applications, identifying criminogenic design features and offering remedial advice. Twenty-eight experienced DOCOs from across England and Wales assessed the site plan for one residential development (which had been built a deca…

On whom does the burden of crime fall now? Changes over time in counts and concentration
A recent publication (Ignatans and Pease, 2015) sought to examine the changed distribution of crime across households in England and Wales over a period encompassing that of the crime drop common to Western countries (1982–2012). It was found that while crime against the most victimised households declined most in absolute terms, the proportion of all crime accounted for by those most victimised increased somewhat. The characteristics associated …
Using Modeling to Predict and Prevent Victimization
Area and individual differences in personal crime victimization incidence
This article examines how personal crime differences between areas and between individuals are predicted by area and population heterogeneity and their synergies. It draws on lifestyle/routine activities and social disorganization theories to model the number of personal victimization incidents over individuals including routine activities and area characteristics, respectively, as well as their (cross-cluster) interactions. The methodology emplo…
Evolution and Crime
Human physique and behaviour has been shaped by the pressures of natural selection. This is received wisdom in all scientifically informed circles. Currently, the topic of crime is rarely touched upon in textbooks on evolution and the topic of evolution rarely even mentioned in criminology textbooks. This book for the first time explores how an evolution informed criminology has clear implications for enhancing our understanding of the criminal l…
The Division of Labour in Crime Prevention
Durkheim outlines how workforces become increasingly specialised as society expands, resulting not only in mutual dependence but also in strong social and cultural distinctions between different professional specialisations. Modern studies of crime prevention exemplify this phenomenon. Crime scientists, criminologists and criminal justice practitioners frequently disagree over the differences and utility of their respective disciplines, almost to…

Victimisation and Re-victimisation Risk, Housing Type and Area
Crime Placement, Displacement, and Deflection
Patterns of crime should be seen as the outcome of crime-control policies and the distribution of opportunities. Such crime-control policies are often argued to have the limited effect of displacing crime, that is, substituting new crimes for prevented crimes. Displacement alone is an inadequate concept; a better formulation centers on the deflection of crime from a target. Some patterns of deflected crime can be regarded as "benign" displacement…

What Is Different About High Crime Areas
This note reports secondary analysis of the 1982 British Crime Survey. It ranks sampling points by total crime experienced, and identifies differences between high and low crime areas. These differ in ‘vulnerability’, measured as the ratio of crimes to victims. This reveals that the number of victimizations per victim rises markedly as area crime rate increases. Thus a strategy of crime prevention which concentrated on the prevention of repeat vi…

Population Inequality
This paper employs data from the 2000 British Crime Survey for England and Wales to discuss ways of illustrating the degree of inequality in the distribution of crime victimization. In particular, Lorenz curves are presented for major crime categories, i.e. property, personal and vehicle crime, and their components are presented. They are fitted both nationally (Le. to victimized and non-victimized people) and amongst victims. Crime Lorenz curves…
The Time Course of Repeat Burglary Victimization
Research has demonstrated that the probability of repeat victimization is greater than the probability of an independent offence. The time course of elevated risk has important implications for crime prevention. For burglaries, the current received wisdom is that the characteristics of homes which make burglary more probable persist over the medium and long term. Addressing the time course question, previous research by the authors examined the c…
Public Demand for Punishment
The authors offer a unique theoretical model of social reactions to crime, criminals and other deviant behaviours. They suggest a “demand for punishment” approach and a macro level analysis of general incentives as these may be related to the phenomenon of crime. European and United Nations data are used to make international comparisons

Evaluating Crime Prevention
Most evaluations of crime prevention are carried out with little regard for methodological probity. Of work that aspires to methodological adequacy, the standard designs are the before-after comparison group and the interrupted time series. The critical questions are whether a program has an effect (and if not, whether because of theory failure, implementation failure, or measurement failure), the extent of any effect achieved, and the means by w…
Gender Differences in Criminal Justice
Analysis of the Second and Third United Nations Crime Surveys reveals that males are disproportionately suspected, apprehended, prosecuted, convicted, and imprisoned throughout the world. Evidence was found that, in 1980 and 1985, women were disproportionately filtered out of the system as they progressed through the stages described. Similar evidence was found for some stages of the system in 1975. Proportionately more women were suspected, pros…

Repeat Victimisation and the Policing of Communities
Three types of police service can be distinguished. • Reaction to relevant emergencies; • Identifying and processing crime perpetrators; • Proaction to prevent crime and disorder (referred to below as ‘unity policing’). The central problem for the organisation of policing is arguably the integration of the first two elements of work with the third. In this paper, the writers contend that focusing on identifying and providing relevant help to thos…

Incapacitation Revisited
Recent developments in the estimation of incapacitation are reviewed. Particular attention is paid to two reports, the first being that of some British incapacitation research (Brody and Tarling 1980), and the second reporting a Californian investigation of prisoners' self‐report of their criminal careers (Peterson et al. 1980). The British work is extensively criticised. Peterson et al. 's study is commended as valuable research which, however, …

The Importance of Northern Ireland for Criminal Justice Research in Great Britain
This paper introduces the special Ulster issue of the Journal . It argues that Ulster offers enough similarities with other jurisdictions in the British Isles to enable comparison, and enough distinctive features to make such comparison interesting. The papers in the issue are briefly commented upon. This paper goes on to identify a number of topics not dealt with in this issue where comparative research may be fruitful. These include: conditiona…

Obscene Telephone Calls to Women in England and Wales
Data from the British Crime Survey are analysed which suggest that approximately 10% of women with access to a private telephone receive obscene calls per year. Young and middle‐aged women, separated and divorced women, and women living in inner cities, are more prone to victimisation, suggesting that some recipients of obscene calls are known to the caller. Women who have received obscene calls are more worried about burglary of their empty home…
Community Service Orders
Community service orders are penal sanctions in which convicted offenders are placed in unpaid positions with nonprofit or governmental agencies. Proponents typically urge the use of community service as an alternative to imprisonment. Community service programs have been established in many countries. The most extensive and most studied experience is British. Following a 1970 recommendation of the Advisory Council on the Penal System, enabling l…
Personal Crime Against Women
The concerns of feminist and radical writers for women as victims of crime are set out. Their criticisms of quantitative work in general and the British Crime Survey in particular are mentioned. Data are presented from the survey showing that women victims of personal crime disproportionately suffer at the hands of people they know well, and of husbands especially. Such crimes are reported to the police less than crimes against males, and this is…

Parole and its Problems
The parole system of England and Wales is contrasted with that of Canada. Recent reviews of the system have taken place in both countries. There is agreement between the reviewing bodies on the centrality of risk assessment to parole. In the Canadian case, this concern extends to the development and maintenance of statistical predictors to make the system consonant with its stated purpose. Despite the existence of an excellent statistical basis f…
Does Parole Reduce the Risk of Reconviction
Research is reviewed from Canada, Great Britain, and the USA, which suggests that offenders granted parole are reconvicted less than those not so released. The competing explanations for this uniformly observed difference are evaluated. It is concluded that the most likely explanation is in terms of a treatment effect rather than a consequence of the selection of better risk prisoners alone. Something about the grant or process of parole seems to…

Crime, Race and Reporting to the Police
Evidence from all three British Crime Surveys is used to address the question of whether perpetrator race is a determinant of the decision to report offences of violence to the police. The evidence suggests that there is a differential victim report to the police, which cannot be reduced to offence characteristics which distinguish perpetrators by ethnicity. Fuller understanding of the complex patterns await additional data from British Crime Sur…
