Carjacking calls for a specialized analysis because it occurs at lightning speed within very brief windows of opportunity. This article describes the geographic distribution of carjacking in Campinas, Brazil, and then compares this pattern with Detroit, Michigan. We learn that raw numbers of carjackings are widely dispersed in both cities. Although these cities differ greatly in daily transportation systems, in both cities the carjacking risk estimate is greatest where motorists stop for other reasons—at gas stations or corners (Detroit); on short street blocks (Campinas). We make very limited inferences about carjacking around the world due to the limited number of cities studied thus far. However, we do suggest that carjacking reduction is most amenable to product-based forms of situational crime prevention.

劫车:巴西坎皮纳斯与密歇根州底特律的比较

劫车需要专门的分析,因为它在非常短暂的机会窗口内以闪电般的速度发生。本文描述了巴西坎皮纳斯劫车的地理分布,然后将这种模式与密歇根州底特律进行了比较。我们了解到,劫车的原始数量在这两个城市中广泛分布。尽管这些城市的日常交通系统差异很大,但在这两个城市中,劫车风险估计在司机因其他原因停车的地方——加油站或拐角处(底特律);在短街街区(坎皮纳斯)。由于迄今为止研究的城市数量有限,我们对世界各地的劫车事件做出的推断非常有限。但是,我们确实建议减少劫车最适合基于产品的情景犯罪预防形式。
