David Weisburd, Elizabeth Groff, and Sue-Ming Yang present a new way of looking at crime by examining why specific streets in a city have specific crime trends over time. Reorienting the study of crime by focusing not on individuals and communities, but on small units of geography, the authors identify a large group of possible crime risk and protective factors for street segments and an array of interventions that could be implemented to address them. A groundbreaking book, The Criminology of Place radically alters traditional thinking about the crime problem and what we should do about it.
