Examining Concentration of Property Crime

• In Event: Situational Contexts and Crime

Abstract

Concentration of crime has been recognized as a crucial concept in crime and place research. However, there is limited existing research on concentration of crime conducted in non-western settings. Previous research has also shown that crime concentration remained relatively stable and occurred across various types of crime. Therefore, this study attempts to examine the law of crime concentration at micro place longitudinally in Taipei City, Taiwan, using data from 2015 to 2021 released by Taipei City Police Department.
