The study of how the environment, local geography, and physical
locations influence crime has a long history that stretches across
many research traditions. These include the neighborhood effects
approach developed in the 1920s, the criminology of place, and a
newer approach that attends to the perception of crime in
communities. Aided by new technologies and improved data-reporting
in recent decades, research in environmental criminology has
developed rapidly within each of these approaches. Yet research in
the subfield remains fragmented and competing theories are rarely
examined together. The Oxford Handbook of Environmental Criminology
takes a unique approach and synthesizes the contributions of
existing methods to better integrate the subfield as a whole.
Gerben J.N. Bruinsma and Shane D. Johnson have assembled a cast of
top scholars to provide an in-depth source for understanding how
and why physical setting can influence the emergence of crime,
affect the environment, and impact individual or group behavior.
The contributors address how changes in the environment, global
connectivity, and technology provide more criminal opportunities
and new ways of committing old crimes. They also explore how crimes
committed in countries with distinct cultural practices like China
and West Africa might lead to different spatial patterns of crime.
This is a state-of-the-art compendium on environmental criminology
that reflects the diverse research and theory developed across the
western world.
