Criminology has developed strong methodological tools over the
past decades, establishing itself as a competitive, sophisticated,
and independent social science. Perhaps because of its emphasis on
matters of design, methodology, and quantitative analysis,
criminology has had few significant advances in theory. Advances in
Criminological Theory is the first series exclusively dedicated to
the dissemination of original work on criminological theory.
The Process and Structure of Crime, the ninth volume in this
landmark series, is a thorough overview of the conceptual and
empirical issues raised by the adoption of a criminal event
perspective, which takes into account the multifaceted character of
human behavior. This book is divided into three sections:
conceptual bases of criminal events, the criminal event perspective
itself, and responses to criminal events. Contributors analyze and
explore a wide range of topics, including: how interpersonal
routines are structured through past experience; the influence of
social context on interpersonal routines; criminal opportunity and
its impact on criminal events; the significance of neighborhood
context; the effect of victimization and fear; how problem-oriented
policing efforts need to be informed by and reflect the problems of
repeat offenders, repeat victims, and hot spots of crime; and
finally, how changes in the physical environment constrain or limit
criminal opportunities. This fascinating work will be beneficial to
criminologists, sociologists, and scholars of legal studies.
