Crime is largely an urban phenomenon, but the specifically urban
and area dimen sions of the social processes that are connected
with crime have been seriously understated in much recent
criminological work ... Such a claim could not have been made forty
years ago. (Baldwin & Bottoms, 1976, p. 1). The above statement
by Baldwin and Bottoms about the neglect in crimi nology of the
urban dimension of crime was made in the mid-1970s. However, in the
last decade there has been a significant upswing in theory and
research on crime in the urban environment. Also, new areas
oftheory and research into urban crime have come into focus. (For
overviews see Brantingham & Brantingham, 1984; Davidson, 1981.)
One very good example of the increasing interest in urban crime is
the recent volume of Crime and Justice entitled "Communities and
Crime" (Reiss & Tonry, 1986), in which Reiss makes a strong
argument for the importance of the study of crime in urban
communities and for the linking of the ecological and individual
traditions in theory and research on crime. A review of the
literature on crime in urban environments shows, not unexpectedly,
that Anglo-American research heavily dominates the scene (Wikstrom,
1982; 1987b). Hence, much of the experience we have on urban crime
is based on North American and British research and theory.
