Tracing Disorder: Environmental Catalysts for Misdemeanors and Felonies in Chicago
The physical environment influencing crime occurrence has been consistently studied, with a primary focus on felonies. However, while the majority of police efforts are dedicated to preventing and addressing misdemeanors, research on their causes remains relatively insufficient. Furthermore, the factors influencing the occurrence of misdemeanors and felonies may differ. This study aims to analyze the impact of Chicago's physical environmental disorder on the occurrence of misdemeanors and felonies, identifying distinct environmental factors for each crime type. By utilizing Chicago's 311 request and complaint data alongside crime data, the study evaluates the effects of various physical environmental factors—including graffiti, abandoned vehicles, broken streetlights, and illegal liquor sales—on crime occurrence through spatial regression analysis. The findings reveal significant spatial autocorrelation for both crime types, indicating that a disorderly environment in neighboring areas tends to promote crime occurrence. Specifically, trash and abandoned spaces were more strongly associated with misdemeanors, whereas graffiti and illegal liquor shops had a greater influence on felony occurrences. This study suggests community-specific crime prevention and urban planning strategies tailored to each crime type and offers policy recommendations for creating safer communities.

Description
The journal has an applied focus: it actively promotes the importance of geographical research in real world settings
It is policy-relevant: it seeks both a readership and contributions from practitioners as well as academics
The substantive foundation is spatial analysis: the use of quantitative techniques to identify patterns and processes within geographic environments
The combination of these points, which are fully reflected in the naming of the journal, establishes a unique position in the marketplace.
RationaleA geographical perspective has always been crucial to the understanding of the social and physical organisation of the world around us. The techniques of spatial analysis provide a powerful means for the assembly and interpretation of evidence, and thus to address critical questions about issues such as crime and deprivation, immigration and demographic restructuring, retailing activity and employment change, resource management and environmental improvement. Many of these issues are equally important to academic research as they are to policy makers and Applied Spatial Analysis and Policy aims to close the gap between these two perspectives by providing a forum for discussion of applied research in a range of different contexts
Topical and interdisciplinaryIncreasingly government organisations, administrative agencies and private businesses are requiring research to support their ‘evidence-based’ strategies or policies. Geographical location is critical in much of this work which extends across a wide range of disciplines including demography, actuarial sciences, statistics, public sector planning, business planning, economics, epidemiology, sociology, social policy, health research, environmental management.
FocusApplied Spatial Analysis and Policy will draw on applied research from diverse problem domains, such as transport, policing, education, health, environment and leisure, in different international contexts. The journal will therefore provide insights into the variations in phenomena that exist across space, it will provide evidence for comparative policy analysis between domains and between locations, and stimulate ideas about the translation of spatial analysis methods and techniques across varied policy contexts. It is essential to know how to measure, monitor and understand spatial distributions, many of which have implications for those with responsibility to plan and enhance the society and the environment in which we all exist.
Readership and Editorial BoardAs a journal focused on applications of methods of spatial analysis, Applied Spatial Analysis and Policy will be of interest to scholars and students in a wide range of academic fields, to practitioners in government and administrative agencies and to consultants in private sector organisations. The Editorial Board reflects the international and multidisciplinary nature of the journal.
