It sets itself apart through its breadth, depth, and practical orientation. The editors and contributors cover just about everything one needs to conduct an empirical research study on place-based crime, starting with theory and moving on to data collection, spatial units, and all the way to evaluation methods. The scope and accessibility of \u003c\/i\u003eUnderstanding Crime and Place\u003ci\u003e will appeal to a wide range of expertise levels. This book deserves to be on the bookshelf of any criminologist interested in the influences of place and space on crime.”\u003c\/i\u003e-\u003cb\u003eMichael Townsley\u003c\/b\u003e, Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Griffith University, and editor of \u003ci\u003eEnvironmental Criminology and Crime Analysis\u003c\/i\u003e (Second Edition) \u003ci\u003e“An understanding of place is as important to the study of crime as an appreciation of victims, offenders, and police. The consistency of geography allows for reliable measurements and objective analyses, enabling the development of practical crime prevention and control techniques. This methods handbook establishes a solid theoretical and methodological foundation, and the broad range of conceptual, measurement, and analytic topics discussed by the contributors will be appreciated by scholars and practitioners alike.”\u003c\/i\u003e-\u003cb\u003eD.

It supplies readers with the cutting-edge analytic techniques being used in the field. The book still pays homage to communities and crime research by including sections on larger spatial units such as neighborhoods....
