Exploring Theories of Victimization Using a Mathematical Model of Burglary (2011, background): “More recent work (e.g. Grubesic and Mack, 2008; Johnson et al., 2007; Johnson et al., 2009; Short et al. 2009; Townsley et al., 2003) suggests that this phenomenon extends to nearby homes such that when one house is victimized, those nearby also appear to experience a temporary elevation in risk.”
Is Gun Violence Contagious? A Spatiotemporal Test (2018, background): “…of crime have reported robust evidence of space-time clustering of property crime (Johnson, 2008; Mohler et al., 2011; Short et al., 2010; Townsley et al., 2003) and violent crime (Cohen and Tita, 1999; Morenoff et al., 2001; Tita and Cohen, 2004; Ratcliffe and Rengert, 2008; Braga et…”
Offender as Forager? A Direct Test of the Boost Account of Victimization (2009, background): “Data from Australia (Townsley et al. 2003), the UK (Johnson and Bowers 2004a, b), the Netherlands, New Zealand and the USA (Johnson et al.”
The Predictive Policing Challenges of Near Repeat Armed Street Robberies (2012, background): “…enhanced by the discovery of a near repeat phenomenon: not only are locations at risk of repeat victimization, but nearby locations are also at increased risk of crime up to a certain distance and for a certain time (Bowers and Johnson, 2004; Ratcliffe and Rengert, 2008; Townsley et al., 2003).”
Self-exciting point process models of civilian deaths in Iraq (2011, neutral): “Similar ideas have been proposed in relation to crime event patterning ( Brantingham and Brantingham, 1984 ; Townsley et al , 2003 ; Johnson et al , 2007 ; Johnson, 2008 ).”
Same-Offender Involvement in Repeat and Near Repeat Burglaries (2008, background): “The phenomenon was first established in Beenleigh, a police division near Brisbane in south-east Queensland, Australia (Townsley et al. 2003), and in Liverpool, UK (Bowers and Johnson 2004, 2005; Bowers et al.”
Randomized Controlled Field Trials of Predictive Policing (2015, neutral): “In Table 5, we observe that analysts also place a significant number of hotspots to account for near-repeat victimization [11, 48].”
How Do Residential Burglars Select Target Areas?: A New Approach to the Analysis of Criminal Location Choice (2005, background): “It could also be used to study repeat offending against the same target or against targets in the proximity of the target previously selected (Farrell et al. 1995; Townsley et al. 2000; 2003; Johnson et al. 1997; Johnson and Bowers 2004).”
Crime Mapping: Spatial and Temporal Challenges (2009, background): “This communication of risk to nearby locations was first examined by Shane Johnson, Kate Bowers, and Michael Townsley and colleagues (Bowers and Johnson 2004; Johnson and Bowers 2004a, b; Townsley et al. 2003).”
