Lifestyle, Crime Prevention Behaviors and Property Crime Victimization: integrating longitudinal survey, census and official crime statistics

Thu, Nov 15, 7:15 to 8:15pm, Marriott, Atrium B, Atrium Level

Abstract

Although there are many empirical studies on community and crime, cross-sectional surveys often fails to find causal relationship between crime prevention behavior and victimization. The study integrates longitudinal survey, census and official crime statistics in a city in Tokyo metropolitan area to examine the main effects of individual and neighborhood factors on property crime victimization as well as their cross-level interactions. Implications are discussed based on routine activity and multilevel-opportunity theory.
