Place has become both a major field of criminological study as well
as an important area for policy development. Capturing state of the
art crime and place research methods and analysis, Understanding
Crime and Place is a comprehensive Handbook focused on the specific
skills researchers need. The editors and contributors are scholars
who have been fundamental in introducing or developing a particular
method for crime and place research. Understanding Crime and Place
is organized around the scientific process, introducing major crime
and place theories and concepts, discussions of data and data
collection, core spatial data concepts, as well as statistical and
computational techniques for analyzing spatial data and place-based
evaluation. The lessons in the book are supplemented by additional
instructions, examples, problems, and datasets available for
download. Conducting place-based research is an emerging field that
requires a wide range of cutting-edge methods and analysis
techniques that are only beginning to be widely taught in
criminology. Understanding Crime and Place bridges that gap,
formalizes the discipline, and promotes an even greater use of
place-based research. Contributors: Martin A. Andresen, Matthew P J
