Document Summary
Crime is linked to where it happens and also our response. We see some areas as sites of crimes, and our ideas about it influence the behaviour how resources get distributed. We typically focus on individual criminal acts and ignore the structural/social/spatial factors which create conditions and definitions of crime. A spatial analysis of crime includes understanding how crime is defined and experienced, based on where it is happening and who it is happening to. Create a framework which how some people ecome criminal that others. Poverty and crime: happening in deprived neighbourhoods, frequent in poor areas. We can think of our neighbourhoods than others. Not all crime is created (or policed) equally. Some criminal behaviour" is underreported, treated leniently, or even celebrated. Social structures and the meaning of activities in different spaces shape crime statistics and experiences of crime. Based on who is doing the crime. There are connections between environment built for and crime.
