Analysis of Crime Spots

طي دو دهه گذشته توجه و علاقه فزاينده اي براي مطالعه و شناسايي جنبه هاي مكاني بزهكاري در حوزه هاي شهري پديدار گشته است. بدين منظور براي كنترل و پيشگيري مكاني بزهكاري ديدگاه هاي مختلفي ارايه شده است. از جمله رويكردهاي مهم در اين خصوص “كانون هاي جرم خيز” مي باشد. در مقاله حاضر سعي شده است ضمن تشريح مباني نظري اين رويكرد، پيشينه اين مطالعات در كشورهاي مختلف جهان، دلايل اهميت، روشها،ابزار و فنون شناسايي و تحليل كانونهاي جرم خيز شهري بيان گردد.

During the last two decades, there is an increasing interest in the study and recognition of different spatial aspects of crimes within urban areas. To do so, a number of theories, have been put forward by different scholars for the control and prevention of crime in the urban areas. Among different [developed] viewpoints in this respect, " hotspots " have received special attention. Hotspot analysis assists police in assessing and identifying high crime areas, types of crime being committed, and the best way to respond to them. In this paper, an attempt has been made to get more insight into this view and after evaluating previous studies made on the subject in different parts of the world, its theoretical framework, importance, methods and techniques of understanding urban crime hotspots is explored.
