Abstract

ABSTRACT Scholars have begun to investigate whether coffee shops offer neighborhoods a platform to develop social cohesion and prevent crime in the nearby area. However, no such study has examined this relationship at the street segment level. Thus, the current study takes a micro-level, geospatial approach to investigate whether the presence of coffee shops is associated with property and violent crimes at the street segment. Findings from multiple count regression models find that street segments with coffee shops were associated with increases in property crimes and all crimes grouped together, compared to streets with other businesses but no coffee shop. However, there were no statistically significant associations between street segments with coffee shops and violent crime. Findings run contrary to previous investigations of the coffee shop-crime relationship, indicating more research is needed in this area. Further investigation into the type of crime that may be associated with coffee shop presence is warranted. Theoretical and research implications are discussed.

咖啡店真的是第三名吗？调查咖啡店对财产和暴力犯罪影响的街道分割方法

摘要学者们已经开始调查咖啡店是否为社区提供了一个发展社会凝聚力和预防附近地区犯罪的平台。然而，没有这样的研究在街道分段层面上检验这种关系。因此，目前的研究采用微观层面的地理空间方法来调查咖啡店的存在是否与街道上的财产和暴力犯罪有关。多元统计回归模型的结果发现，与有其他企业但没有咖啡店的街道相比，有咖啡店的路段与财产犯罪的增加有关，所有犯罪都集中在一起。然而，有咖啡店的街道与暴力犯罪之间没有统计学上的显著关联。调查结果与之前对咖啡店犯罪关系的调查结果相反，表明这一领域还需要更多的研究。有必要对可能与咖啡店存在有关的犯罪类型进行进一步调查。讨论了理论和研究意义。

期刊介绍： Criminal Justice Studies, a quarterly refereed journal, publishes articles that deal with substantive criminal justice and criminological issues. The journal welcomes all articles that are relevant to the issue of criminal justice, as well as those that may be outside the field but have relevancy to the topic of criminal justice. Articles that cover public administration, issues of public policy, as well as public affairs issues are welcome. The journal also publishes relevant literature reviews, research notes and summary reports of innovative research projects in criminal justice. Qualitative and quantifiable articles are sought mainly from academics and researchers in the field, though articles from professionals will also be considered.
