Do all commercial land uses deteriorate neighborhood safety?: Examining the relationship between commercial land-use mix and residential burglary
2016, Habitat InternationalCitation Excerpt :It is hypothesized in this study that different facilities may have varying effects on crime and that not all commercial businesses may negatively affect neighborhood safety. By analyzing incidents of residential burglary, which has been reported as one of the most common types of offense influenced by the built environment (DeFrances & Titus, 1993; Yang, 2006), this study seeks to propose implications for land-use strategies to improve neighborhood safety. To identify an accurate spatial distribution of crime, the measure of crime density based on a standardized spatial unit of analysis is used in the analysis.
Using remote sensing to assess the relationship between crime and the urban layout
2014, Applied GeographyCitation Excerpt :Similar ideas support planning approaches that seek to deter criminal behavior by designing ordered, highly visible and easily defensible urban spaces, such as crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED), and New Urbanism (Cozens, 2008). DeFrances and Titus (1993) found that whether a burglary was completed or aborted was associated with neighborhood disorganization and home occupancy, and Keizer, Lindenberg, and Steg (2008) tested the broken windows theory in six field experiments and reported that when people observe that others have violated certain social norms or legitimate rules, they are more likely to violate other norms and rules, causing disorder to spread and escalate. Previous research addressed the relationships between crime in urban settings and physical and environmental variables such as altitude and slope (Breetzke, 2012), temperature and weather conditions (Anderson & Anderson, 1984; Butke & Sheridan, 2010; Carlsmith & Anderson, 1979; Cohn & Rotton, 2000; DeFronzo, 1984; Field, 1992; Salleh et al., 2012; Sorg & Taylor, 2011), vegetation (Donovan & Prestemon, 2012; Kuo & Sullivan, 2001; Troy, Grove, & O'Neil-Dunne, 2012; Wolfe & Mennis, 2012), land use (Kurtz, Koons, & Taylor, 1998; Wilcox, Quisenberry, Cabrera, & Jones, 2004), nighttime lighting (Weeks, 2003), and the spatial pattern of the built environment (Browning et al., 2010; Foster, Giles-Corti, & Knuiman, 2010; Shu & Huang, 2003; Taylor & Harrell, 1996, p. 32).
"Safe Going": The influence of crime rates and perceived crime and safety on walking in deprived neighbourhoods
2013, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :However, many aspects of the built and social environments are known to facilitate PA (Saelens & Handy, 2008), and some of these may serve both policy aims, whatever the primary reason for their implementation. For example, in different settings, the presence of incivilities has been linked to increased burglary (De Frances & Titus, 1993) and greater feelings of insecurity (Wood, 2004), and may deter residents from doing PA (Shenassa et al., 2006). Thus, in new neighbourhoods, PA benefits may accrue directly and indirectly by the provision and maintenance of environments that are safer from crime.
The built environment, neighborhood crime and constrained physical activity: An exploration of inconsistent findings
2008, Preventive MedicineCitation Excerpt :Other elements of the physical environment provide negative visual cues that potentially amplify residents' perceptions of crime and heighten fears. The presence of physical disorder or “incivilities” (e.g., vandalism, litter, graffiti) (Skogan and Maxfield, 1981) is associated with increased burglary (DeFrances and Titus, 1993), greater perceived crime and fear of crime (Lewis and Maxfield, 1980), even when reported crimes are low (Sooman and Macintyre, 1995). Moreover, when incivilities are not remedied quickly, residents may interpret neighborhood decline as being worse than it really is (Skogan, 1990).
