Drawing on unique longitudinal community-level data in Brisbane,
this book entwines current ecological theories of crime with key
debates on the relevance of ‘community’ in contemporary urban
life to examine the spatial and temporal relationships between
community structure, community social capital, informal social
control and the occurrence of crime and disorder. Crime and
Disorder in Community Context extends what is known about the
concentration of crime in particular types of places, presenting a
broad reaching explication of how community structural
characteristics, community regulatory processes and crime influence
each other over time. It looks at how growing levels of ethnic
diversity, income inequality and increasing immigrant
concentrations at the community level influence processes necessary
for the regulation of crime; the crime control processes for
various crime problems in different types of communities; the
extent that exogenous shocks, like the 2011 Brisbane flood disaster
and the global financial crisis impact on crime, crime prevention
and crime control; and engages readers with the methodological
complexities associated with the longitudinal study of crime and
disorder in contemporary urban communities. An accessible and
compelling read, this will appeal to students and scholars of
criminology, sociology, geography, cultural studies and all those
interested in the relationship between crime and community.
