Dear Mailbase - I anyone could not read the attachment to my 10.06.02
e-mail 'Can streets be made safe?' trying adding .pdf to the title. - Bill
Hillier
Dear Dongkuk - The final version of the Shu paper was published by the
Institute of Public Policy Researcg of the UK in a book. The reference is
HillierB & Shu S (2000) Crime and urban layout: the need for evidence (with
Shu S) in eds. MacLaren V, Ballantyne S, Pease K: Key Issues in Crime
Prevention and Community Safety IPPR, London ISBN1 86030 088 X
You should also be aware of the attached recent paper of mine putting
together the results of our recent crime studies, including the Shu study.
It discussed the difficulties and dangers of macro-level research in this
area. For example, if you do whole town studies you inevitably find that
the highest rates of crime are in the urban centres, but this is because
the highest rates of crime opportunity are likely to be there. You have to
take care to compare like with like i.e. residential areas woth residential
areas, not high density town centres with low densigty residential areas.
You also have to take into account socio-economic and demographic variables
at this level, as we are trying to in current studies comparing areas. In
fact in a current study comparing areas in a London Borough, an apparent
weak positive correlation between synactic variables and overall crime
rates is turned negative when you do stepwise regression bringing in the
other variables - most particularly the deprivation index for for the area.
In most towns and cities there are more deprived people living in or near
the centres, and this is also associated with higher crime rates, including
higher victimisation. So we have to take care not to mistake social for
spatial effects. - Bill
