摘要

许多宗教通常要求信徒在有形的礼拜场所(PWs)参加服务。然而，人与人之间的互动和敬拜的实体结构的存在创造了无数的犯罪机会。目前的研究调查了美国南部一个大城市在两个日历年(2009-2010年)期间发生在监狱的6772起犯罪案件。具体而言，本研究探讨了各监狱向警方报案的罪案类型/频率，以及作为热点的监狱的地理空间特征。总共有78种犯罪类别发生在1081个独特的案件中，其中盗窃是最常见的犯罪。此外，大多数热点站点位于主要交叉路口或旁路附近。本文还将讨论未来研究的政策意义和方向。

Crime at places of worship: a geospatial analysis

ABSTRACT Many religions often require followers to attend services at physical places of worship (PWs). However, the combination of individuals interacting with one another and the mere presence of physical structures for worship create numerous crime opportunities. The current study examines 6,772 crimes reported to police that occurred at PWs over a two-calendar year period (2009–2010) in one large Southern U.S. metropolitan city. Specifically, this study examines the types/frequencies of crime reported to police at PWs and the geospatial characteristics of PWs that were hotspots. In total, 78 crime categories occurred in the 1,081 unique cases, with theft being the most common offense. Additionally, most hotspot PWs were located near major intersections or bypasses. Policy implications and directions for future research will also be discussed.

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.
