Abstract
Objectives
Examine how crimes against person (CAP) calls are spatially patterned around the Spurs’ arena and city. Using data from 2019–2021, we investigate the geospatial clustering of CAP calls when fans are and are not present.
Methods
CAP calls are separated by Spurs game day or not, home or away games, and before or during COVID-19. ArcGIS Pro is used to run optimized hot spot analyses and hot spot comparisons with similarity values and spatial fuzzy kappa for each comparison.
Results
The largest hot spot is around the Riverwalk and downtown, and days with home games do not increase hot spots around the arena. There are significant changes in hot spots across the city on days with home versus away games and during COVID-19 versus before.
Conclusions
The location of stadiums/arenas and proximity to popular areas with micro-facilities should be considered in sports and crime research and crime prevention discussions.
摘要目的研究侵害人身罪(CAP)报警如何在马刺队场馆和城市周围形成空间模式。利用 2019-2021 年的数据,我们调查了当球迷在场或不在场时 CAP 报警的地理空间聚类情况。方法按马刺队比赛日与否、主场或客场、COVID-19 之前或期间将 CAP 报警分开。使用 ArcGIS Pro 运行优化的热点分析和热点比较,每次比较均使用相似度值和空间模糊卡帕。结果最大的热点位于河滨步道和市中心周围,有主场比赛的日子并不会增加赛场周围的热点。在主场比赛日和客场比赛日以及 COVID-19 期间和之前,整个城市的热点都发生了明显变化。
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Experimental Criminology focuses on high quality experimental and quasi-experimental research in the advancement of criminological theory and/or the development of evidence based crime and justice policy. The journal is also committed to the advancement of the science of systematic reviews and experimental methods in criminology and criminal justice. The journal seeks empirical papers on experimental and quasi-experimental studies, systematic reviews on substantive criminological and criminal justice issues, and methodological papers on experimentation and systematic review. The journal encourages submissions from scholars in the broad array of scientific disciplines that are concerned with criminology as well as crime and justice problems.
