Twenty five years ago, US criminologist Lawrence Sherman wryly asked: “If future crime is six times more predictable by the address of its occurrence than by the identity of the offender, why aren’t we thinking more about wheredunit, rather than just whodunit?” (Sherman, 1995, pp. 36–37). Many empirical observations that crimes of various kinds are more likely to occur in particular places, and at particular times, have since led to significant reductions in the incidence of specific crimes, ranging from bicycle theft to residential burglaries, to assaults in and around bars, to armed robbery, and so on (see e.g. Wortley & Townsley, 2016). Analysing and responding to the spatial and temporal dimensions of specific kinds of crime is now commonplace among crime prevention agents and practitioners.

25年前，美国犯罪学家劳伦斯·谢尔曼（Lawrence Sherman）苦苦地问：“如果未来的犯罪发生的地址比犯罪者的身份可预测的可能性高六倍，为什么我们不更多地考虑在哪里犯罪，而不仅仅是在犯罪组织？ ” （Sherman，1995，pp.36-37）。许多经验性观察表明，在特定地点和特定时间更可能发生各种犯罪，从那以后，从自行车盗窃，住宅入室盗窃，酒吧内外袭击等特定犯罪的发生率大大降低，到武装抢劫等等（例如，见Wortley＆Townsley，2016年）。现在，在预防犯罪的人员和从业人员中，对特定类型犯罪的时空维度进行分析和响应是司空见惯的。
