“It’s just unbearable here: I can’t even let the children out of the door.
The people are awful, the houses are a disgrace, and the whole area is like a slum.
The state of the area and the type of people coming to live here.
[…] It’s like the end of the world here”
‘fear’
Davis (1998)
Los Angeles: The Ecology of Fear
Review questions:
1. Is urban crime merely opportunist and random or
patterned as environmental criminologists tend to
suggest?
2. The Brantinghams (1981) argued that offences are
most likely to occur where criminal opportunities
intersect with cognitively known areas. What did
they mean?
3. Cities are designed in such a way to segregate
populations and ensure social order. Do you
agree?
