Rapid urbanization of economic zones in China has resulted in a
special social phenomenon: "villages-in-the-city." Underdeveloped
villages are absorbed during the expansion of urban areas, while
retaining their rustic characteristics. Due to the rural
characteristics of these areas, social security is much lower
compared with the urbanized city. This book uses Tang Village, a
remote area in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, as an example to
establish a comprehensive analytical framework by integrating
existing crime theories in analyzing villages-in-the-city. The
analysis covers the community, individual, and macro levels to
detail the diverse social and behavioral factors causing crime at
multiple levels. First, a brief history of the urbanization process
of Tang Village is provided to establish how urban planning
contributed to the issues in the village today. The authors go on
to explain how socially disorganized communities dictate the crime
hotspots and the common types of crime. The book examines other
risk factors that may contribute to the level of crime such as weak
social controls, building density, and floating populations of poor
working-class migrants. The routine activities of victims,
offenders, and guardians are examined. The book concludes with the
current trends in the social structure within the
villages-in-the-city and their expected outcome after urbanization.
