ABSTRACT

It is well known that victims do not consistently report crimes. More problematically, victims in disadvantaged neighborhoods with high percentages of minority residents are not likely to report at high rates. Crime mapping is often considered at an aggregate level; however, the present study examines crime from a victim-perspective to better understand how crime is distributed by victim characteristics. Results reveal interesting similarities and differences in the geographical distribution of crime when disaggregated by victim race. Implications and directions for future research are also discussed.

从受害者特征看犯罪的空间分布

摘要

众所周知，受害者并没有始终如一地举报犯罪。更成问题的是，处于少数族裔比例较高的处境不利地区的受害者不太可能报告高比率。犯罪图谱通常被认为是综合的；但是，本研究从受害人的角度审视犯罪，以更好地了解受害人特征如何分配犯罪。结果显示，按受害人种族分类时，犯罪的地域分布有趣而相似。还讨论了未来研究的意义和方向。
