This brief describes the theory and evidence of a form of social
control known as place management. Created by property owners,
place management is an alternative to the two other domains of
social control: formally created by the state and informally
created by residents. It helps explain the high concentration of
crime and disorder at a relatively small proportion of addresses
and facilities. This volume examines the specifics of place
management and extends it in three ways: to show how high crime
places may radiate crime into their surroundings; to reveal
networks of places that create crime hotspot spanning blocks; to
demonstrate how networks of place managers influence crime
throughout neighborhoods. Finally, it shows that the policy
implications of place management extend far beyond the police and
should include regulatory policies.
