During this time periodMuch of the geography of crime research was
undertaken by sociologistsJohn Glyde (United Kingdom)Ernest Burgess (United States)
Primary finding of this researchSpatial heterogeneity within larger units of
analysisThis has actually been the trend of spatial
criminology for 200 years…more to come
Mid-19th Century to early 20th Century
![Page 3: Martin A. Andresen PhD Associate Professor School of Criminology Institute for Canadian Urban Research Studies Simon Fraser University andresen@sfu.ca](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042821/56649f535503460f94c774a5/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Actually up to the late 1960s or early 1970s
Clifford Shaw and Henry McKaySocial disorganization theory
Analyzed spatially varying crime ratesBut they were always looking for sociological
explanations the sociological imagination
First “half” of the 20th Century

Began, in earnest, in 1969C.R. Jeffery and crime preventionCrime prevention through environmental

There has been previous geographical workMobility polygons and journey to crime, for
example
Geographical imagination and crime

Social disorganization theory
Routine activity theory
Geometric theory of crime
Rational choice theory
Pattern theory of crime
Theories for the geography of crime

Basically all crime rates!!
[(Number of crimes)/(Population at risk)]* Scalar
All too oftenWe do not change the population at risk when
the crime type changesSometimes it is fine, but not always
Spatially-varying crime rates
![Page 7: Martin A. Andresen PhD Associate Professor School of Criminology Institute for Canadian Urban Research Studies Simon Fraser University andresen@sfu.ca](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042821/56649f535503460f94c774a5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How we calculate national level crime rates matters
As with smaller units of geographyResident population, total population
But are all people equally likely of victimization?
The elderly? The young? Males? Females?
A story about homicide…
But before we get to geography…

Homicide in Canada, 1960 – 2000

Long standing fact
Crime increases east to west
Greatest levels of crime in the Territories
Not well understood
Crime in Canada, east to west

In a pure sense, yes
Territories and crime rates are a problem
But the rate is the rate
We can look at another measure, the location quotient
A measure of specialization
But is this “true”?
![Page 13: Martin A. Andresen PhD Associate Professor School of Criminology Institute for Canadian Urban Research Studies Simon Fraser University andresen@sfu.ca](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042821/56649f535503460f94c774a5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Long history in economic geography
A measure of specialization
Introduced to the geography of crime by the Brantingham in the 1990s
Under-utilized, but most instructive
An alternative measure, the location quotient

Some research has shown that populations at risk can be unrelated to one anotherThis is, of course, expected: commercial versus
residential burglary
Sarah Boggs (1965)Sometimes very high positive correlations with
different populations at riskSometimes very high negative correlationsAnd sometimes no relationship at all
This is problematic, a priori…
Populations at risk, a spatial approach
![Page 21: Martin A. Andresen PhD Associate Professor School of Criminology Institute for Canadian Urban Research Studies Simon Fraser University andresen@sfu.ca](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042821/56649f535503460f94c774a5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Oak Ridge National Laboratory1 km x 1 km resolutionProprietary algorithm…
Very different than census counts, the most common population at risk in spatial crime analysis
The implications could be huge
The ambient population and crime analysis

Theoretically and empirically shown to be short
Why travel further than necessary?
All human behaviour
Journey to violent crime is most often shorter than the journey to property crimeCommercial burglary, for example
The journey to crime

History of spatial criminology: spatial heterogeneity cartographically larger units of analysis (smaller areas)
Though countries/provinces/states/neighbourhoods are still common
The micro-spatial unit of analysis seems most appropriate: street segments, street intersections, discrete locations
Crime and place

Does an increase in unemployment increase or decrease crime?
The economy and crime
![Page 53: Martin A. Andresen PhD Associate Professor School of Criminology Institute for Canadian Urban Research Studies Simon Fraser University andresen@sfu.ca](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042821/56649f535503460f94c774a5/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Theoretically it can do both!
More unemployed persons: increased numbers of motivated offenders
More unemployed persons: more people at home protecting person and property
Which one dominates?
The economy and crime
![Page 54: Martin A. Andresen PhD Associate Professor School of Criminology Institute for Canadian Urban Research Studies Simon Fraser University andresen@sfu.ca](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042821/56649f535503460f94c774a5/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

Unemployment is an imperfect measure
More direct measure of the economy? GDP, GPP?
Low income?
Activity-based data?
But is it just unemployment?

Very little in criminology that considers geography
Literally a handful…some of which here at SFU
Important for understanding theoretical relationshipsWithin- and between-group effects
A 5-year census cycle and measurement error

It was made possible because of the Canadian census
And the Data Liberation Initiative
Almost everything I do is dependent on the DLI
It helps advance social science in CanadaHopefully aiding public policy
This is the only census/neighbourhood level study of its kind
