   Dec 1, 2021 · Crime rates per capita are used virtually everywhere to rank and compare cities. However, their usage relies on a strong linear assumption that crime increases at the same pace as the number of people in a region. In this paper, we demonstrate that using per capita rates to rank cities can produce substantially different rankings from rankings adjusted for population size. We analyze the ...

   Aug 11, 2017 · Crime concentration manifests in the probability distribution of crime across a city which can be described by a power law (2) where the exponent α relates to the type of crime. From the perspective of cities as complex systems, our results indicate cities, and thus crime, growing in such a way to maintain the concentration of crime.

   The Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) provides the best picture of the overall trend in violent crime. Estimates from the Telephone-operated Crime Survey for England and Wales (TCSEW) showed that there were 1.5 million violent offences in the year ending March 2022.

   The Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) has been in operation since 1981. Trained interviewers ask people aged 16 years and over residing in households in England and Wales about their experiences of a selected range of crimes in the 12 months prior to interview. Beyond the census, it is one of the biggest household surveys in operation ...

   Feb 8, 2021 · Objectives Much recent work has focused on how crime concentrates on particular streets within communities. This is the first study to examine how such concentrations vary across the neighborhoods of a city. The analysis evaluates the extent to which neighborhoods have characteristic levels of crime concentration and then tests two hypotheses for explaining these variations: the compositional ...

   Does crime vary across cities?

   • That is to say, the focus is often placed either on variation in crime across counties or MSAs, or variation in crime across a set of large cities – in both cases omitting the simultaneous relationship between a city's crime rate and the characteristics of both the city and the region in which it is situated.

   Does a city's crime rate correlate with population size?

   • In analyses without comparisons, a place’s crime rate can be seen as a rough indicator that contextualizes crime numbers relative to population size. Additionally, when cities have the same size, comparing crime rates boils down to comparing raw crime numbers. In summary, in this work, we shed light on the population–crime relationship.

   Do large cities have higher crime rates?

   • For example, in superlinear scenarios, we expect larger cities to have higher crime rates. In this case, when we use rates to rank cities, we build rankings whereby large cities are at the top. But, these cities might not experience more crime than what we expect from places with a similar population size.

   Does the size of a city affect crime concentration?

   • The size of the city lacks influence on the level of crime concentration. Though the growth of a city implies an increase in crime rates, the spatial concentration of offenses seems to be independent of the population size of the city.

   Does changing city population affect crime?

   • The effect of changing city population over the decade on changes in crime in the same decade is becoming more negative over the study period (see Fig. 3 b). Thus, growing cities are experiencing even stronger drops in crime in recent decades.

   Mar 1, 2017 · Crime patterns across U.S. cities have evolved substantially in recent decades, with a pointed emphasis on how suburbanization is both driven by crime, but also changes its patterns across the broader metropolitan region (Farley, 1987, Jargowsky and Park, 2009). Given that certain measures are capturing social processes that can strengthen or weaken over time—e.g., the relationships between ...
