WG-PLACE 3: Understanding and Preventing Auto Thefts
Thu, September 12, 2:30 to 3:45pm, Faculty of Law, University of Bucharest, Floor: 1st floor, Room 2.06Session Submission Type: Pre-arranged Panel
Abstract
Car theft remains a problem in most major metropolitan areas in spite of decades of innovation in anti-theft technologies. This session brings together researchers working in Europe and the United States to examine empirical patterns in car theft. The session looks at the environments that foster car theft as well as differences in theft patterns across car types. The session asks how crime patterns can be leveraged to develop and implement novel crime prevention strategies that specifically target car theft.
