A Micro-Spatial Analysis of the Demographic and Criminogenic Environment of Drug Markets in Philadelphia (2007, methodology): “In particular, the study by Smith and colleagues explored interaction effects between social disorganisation and routine activities in explaining street robbery in a midsize south-eastern US city with a study that employed the spatial scale of the street face block (Smith et al., 2000).”
Socioecological Models of Automotive Theft: Integrating Routine Activity and Social Disorganization Approaches (2002, methodology): “Bursik and Webb (1982) argued for an integration of the theories, and Horney, Osgood, and Marshall (1995) proposed that opportunity and criminality may be usefully studied as interacting concepts (see also Kennedy and Forde 1990; Miethe and McDowall 1993; Miethe and Meier 1990; Miethe, Stafford, and”
Reassessing the alcohol-violence linkage: Results from a multiethnic city (2003, background): “, 1998; Block & Block, 1995; Parker & Cartmill, 1998; Roncek & Maier, 1991) or more broadly reflect the importance of types of land use (Sampson & Raudenbush, 1999; Smith et al., 2000).”
Violent Crime, Residential Instability and Mobility: Does the Relationship Differ in Minority Neighborhoods? (2010, background): “Indeed studies have found that neighborhoods with a greater proportion of homeowners have lower rates of burglary (Ross 1977) and violence (Hipp 2007b; Krivo and Peterson 1996; Roncek 1981; Smith et al. 2000 ).”
Why Small Is Better: Advancing the Study of the Role of Behavioral Contexts in Crime Causation (2009, background): “The effect of land use patterns on crime may be attenuated by aggregating small area units to larger but more heterogeneous units as discussed by Smith et al. (2000).”
Modeling Micro-Level Crime Location Choice: Application of the Discrete Choice Framework to Crime at Places (2010, unknown): “…scholars in geographic criminology advocate the use of much smaller spatial units of analysis (Groff et al. 2009; Oberwittler and Wikström 2009; Smith et al. 2000) and prior research has indeed identified census blocks, street segments (Weisburd et al. 2004), street blocks (Kurtz et al. 1998;…”
Drive-bys and Trade-ups: Examining the Directionality of the Crime and Residential Instability Relationship (2009, background): “While a body of research has focused on specifying and testing the posited mechanisms for these structural characteristics, this literature has almost exclusively employed cross-sectional data, obviating the ability to consider the possible effect of crime on these structural characteristics (Bellai”
