Abstract/Description

Division of Communities and Place Panel: This panel brings together scholars who examine how different facets of the built environment and place-based interventions impact crime. Panelists explore how place-based features such as schools, adult entertainment and alcohol outlets, and urban underpasses and tunnels contribute to higher crime. While other studies propose ways to reduce crime through improvements in situational crime prevention strategies and employing the use of digital technologies such as doorbells.
