The spatial-temporal analysis of crime has significantly evolved. One innovative technique recently developed is risk terrain modeling (RTM). RTM, however, has yet to be used for environmental crime. This research applies RTM and draws from crime pattern theory to examine illegal activities in two protected areas in Cambodia. Findings suggest that pathways, edges, areas with suitable targets, conservation posts, landcover, and prior incidents are related to fauna- and flora-related illegal activities, though this relationship varies by season, units of analysis, and study area (i.e., patrol-based compared with official designation). Implications for theory and policy are outlined.

应用犯罪模式理论和风险地形模型来考察柬埔寨的环境犯罪

犯罪的时空分析有了显着的发展。最近开发的一项创新技术是风险地形建模 (RTM)。然而，RTM 尚未用于环境犯罪。本研究应用 RTM 并借鉴犯罪模式理论来检查柬埔寨两个保护区的非法活动。调查结果表明，路径、边缘、具有合适目标的区域、保护站、土地覆盖和先前的事件与动植物群相关的非法活动有关，尽管这种关系因季节、分析单位和研究区域（即巡逻-基于与官方指定相比）。概述了对理论和政策的影响。
