Communities and Place Panel: Spatiotemporal analysis of crime and modelling: Insights from the Brazilian context

Wed, Nov 12, 12:30 to 1:50pm, Ledroit Park - M3

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract/Description

Division of Communities and Place Panel: This session examines the relationship between crime, public perception, police work, and everyday life across Brazil's diverse urban and regional contexts. It explores how urban landscape changes in high-crime areas can be detected using Google Street View, followed by a study of the shifts in crime geography during the COVID-19 pandemic. The session also covers the role of alcohol-selling outlets in lethal violence, the influence of race, socioeconomic class, and trust on perceptions of police legitimacy, as well as an analysis of women’s safety in land conflict areas. This session draws on interdisciplinary perspectives to share examples from Brazilian environmental criminology research and offers insights that may be relevant to other contexts.
