The Measurement of Crime Prevention Intensity and its Impact on Levels of Crime
Crime prevention activities vary both in the types of intervention that are deployed (e.g. target hardening, increased surveillance, offender targeting/diversion) and in the levels of activity taking place over time. The latter is best described as the intensity of crime prevention. This paper examines different ways of measuring the intensity of crime prevention schemes and explores the impact of intensity on reducing crime. Scheme intensity can…
Prospective Hot-Spotting
Existing methods of predicting and mapping the future locations of crime are intrinsically retrospective. This paper explores the development of a mapping procedure that seeks to produce Prospective' hot-spot maps. Recent research conducted by the authors demonstrates that the risk of burglary is communicable, with properties within 400 metres of a burgled household being at a significantly elevated risk of victimization for up to two months afte…
Victimization Revisited
There is a dearth of research concerned with repeat victimization of non-residential properties. The present study examines the extent and time course of repeat burglary against such properties. The results demonstrate that the risk of repeat burglary suffered by non-residential properties is greater than their residential counterparts and that, in common with residential burglary, the time course of repeat non-residential burglary conforms to an…
The Effect of Social Cohesion on Levels of Recorded Crime in Disadvantaged Areas
This paper investigates the hypothesis that the level of crime in disadvantaged areas will be influenced by their levels of social cohesion. This issue is examined using two methods for delineating areas of disadvantage (geodemographic classifications and the British government's official deprivation measure, the Index of Local Conditions) and two independent components of social cohesion, one defines the level of 'social control' in an area and …
The Development of a Social, Demographic and Land Use Profiler for Areas of High Crime
Maps that show the patterns of crimes do not allow the investigator to analyse, in depth, the relationships between levels of crime and the social and physical environment. In order to address these shortcomings, a demographic, land use and crime risk profiling system has been developed and piloted on Merseyside. This paper sets out the need for a profiling system, discusses the data sets which are used and addresses a number of issues concerning…
