This book includes fieldwork from five continents and demonstrates
the breadth of techniques used by environmental criminologists to
understand crime. Environmental criminologists seek to understand
crime within the physical, and even digital, contexts where it
occurs - believing that crime occurs when people converge in time
and space and that the environment impacts the opportunity for
crime. Understanding the environment aids the researcher in
answering an essential question: what can be done to alter the
place to prevent or reduce crime? However, to understand complex
environmental influences, researchers need to engage in fieldwork.
Fieldwork involves researchers entering the environment they are
studying to observe, listen, and experience the surroundings in a
way that influences their understanding of the place and people in
the environment. This book highlights the broad array of crime
types - from package theft in the suburbs to poaching in the Nile
basin - that environmental criminology is well suited to address.
Finally, it advances methods and techniques, tests established
protocols, and offers reflections on experiences during fieldwork,
demonstrating the value of the techniques for environmental
criminology and offering solutions to crime problems. The chapters
in this book were originally published in special issues of
Criminal Justice Studies.
