| Popis: |
In analysing criminal behaviour, researchers were traditionally more focused on analyzing perpetrators and victims characteristics. However, since crime tends to be concentrated in small areas (hot spots) analysis of crime locations should also be taken into consideration in crime analysis and intervention/prevention. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between neighbourhoods and criminal activity by employing spatial data analysis, instead of relying on individual or household-level data. More specifically, the aims were: (1) to characterise the distribution and the urban environment in which sexual violence acts happened in Zagreb, (2) to describe environmental attributes assumed to contribute to sexual violence acts, (3) to investigate if occurrence of sexual violence acts varied regarding to temporal variations (e.g. time of day, season). It was discussed how study findings may be used to enhance crime prevention with regard to predatory crime hot spots, and pros and cons of police interventions in crime hot spots more generally. |
