Crime Patterns and Interventions Criminal Justice and Penology Policing Practices and Perceptions

Abstract

This note reports secondary analysis of the 1982 British Crime Survey. It ranks sampling points by total crime experienced, and identifies differences between high and low crime areas. These differ in ‘vulnerability’, measured as the ratio of crimes to victims. This reveals that the number of victimizations per victim rises markedly as area crime rate increases. Thus a strategy of crime prevention which concentrated on the prevention of repeat victimization would focus on the most vulnerable people and places.
