DESCRIPTION
This is one the first books to examine crime trends from a metropolitan-wide perspective. Topics include: the “hardening” of the inner city; crime in suburbia; mobility patterns of offenders; the effect of neighborhood characteristics on crime; variations in police expenditures, and others.
"The focus on metropolitan crime and the movement of criminals in metropolitan areas is unique."—Charles S. Wellford, University of Maryland
