Inhaltsangabe

Examining the ways in which communities both affect crime and are affected by it, this volume seeks to explain the variation of crime among socially organized communities. Traditional information about crime is usually described in terms of specific events involving individual offenders and victims. Crime statistics regarding offense and victimization are computed according to individual attributes, such as age, income, race, or gender. Thus the fact that the risk of crime is a function of where we are and what we are doing, as well as of who we are, is often obscured.
