Sommario/riassunto |
|
Thinking in spatial terms is essential in understanding crime and criminal behavior.

Statistical analyses consistently indicate that neighborhood characteristics are important predictors of the spatial distribution of crime, longitudinal trends of crime, and even criminal offenders' target selection. Kikuchi endeavors to uncover the mechanism of how neighborhood c |

This interdisciplinary book provides both an innovative historiography about migration and immigration in the twentieth century and a critical examination of a city located in the |
