seminar: What Do Crime and Diseases Have in Common?
speaker: Shane Johnson (UCL Jill Dando Institute of Crime Science)abstract: Research consistently demonstrates that crime is concentrated. A small fraction of offenders commit the majority of crime, a high proportion of crime occurs in a small number of areas, and a small number of victims experience a disproportionate risk of (re) victimization. Such findings inform Criminological understanding and the crime reduction enterprise. However, until recently, the stability of crime patterns has been largely overlooked. In this presentation, I will discuss our recent research which has focused on patterns of burglary victimisation in space and time. The results of a series of studies conducted using a variety of methods will be briefly discussed and the practical and theoretical implications of the work discussed.
