Some urban spaces are associated with disproportionate numbers of criminal events, while other areas are relatively free from disorder and crime. The relationship between urban space and crime concentration has received increased attention in recent years, with the location quotient frequently presented as a tool to identify and quantify such concentration. This measure has several limitations, with one significant concern surrounding the choice of denominator with which to standardize local and global rate calculations. In response, we present a new methodological adaptation to the location quotient, improving the measurement of crime concentration along linear features. To test this adaptation, we measure how crime concentrates by road classification at both a macro and micro level within two Canadian suburban municipalities. Using transportation network data, we identify the road types that are associated with a disproportionate concentration of criminal events, and illustrate how these relationships change alongside the level of aggregation. Results support the use of the adapted location quotient, finding that criminal events concentrate along specific road types, and emphasize the importance of spatial scale in understanding local relationships between crime and the built urban landscape.

犯罪途径:测量城市道路沿线的犯罪浓度

一些城市空间与不成比例的犯罪事件有关,而其他地区则相对没有混乱和犯罪。近年来,城市空间与犯罪集中度之间的关系受到越来越多的关注,区位商数经常被用作识别和量化这种集中度的工具。这一措施有几个限制,一个重要的问题是选择分母来标准化本地和全局速率计算。作为回应,我们提出了一种对位置商数的新方法适应,改进了沿线性特征的犯罪集中度的测量。为了测试这种适应性,我们在加拿大郊区的两个城市中,通过宏观和微观层面的道路分类来衡量犯罪的集中程度。使用交通网络数据,我们确定与犯罪事件不成比例集中相关的道路类型,并说明这些关系如何随着聚合水平而变化。结果支持使用适应的位置商,发现犯罪事件集中在特定的道路类型,并强调空间尺度在理解犯罪与建成城市景观之间的局部关系方面的重要性.
