SOC313H1 Lecture : Architecture
Document Summary
Over the last 20 years, there"s been a moderate decrease in crime. In the uk it was a pretty steady drop. Quite slow at first, then uk exceeds us crime rate and picked up within the last 2. 1981-2001 it rose by 3 times: 300% increase: in the uk it rose by 1. 5 times, in canada it rose by 1. 11, modest increase. In the us you can see it as a decoupling of the incarceration. In the uk the two are more synchronized, increase in crime rate and increase in incarceration. Simon"s talks about the huge jump in the us. Some of it we see with the documentation of three-strikes. Community based-sanctions: some kind of community program: transcarceration. Not just about architecture specifically, however about the control of space. A bit of reaction to other ways of thinking about crime. Prevention focused: focus on the situation. Rational choice: offenders are more or less just anyone.
