Week 2 – What are your questions about how and why crime distributes disproportionately across space and time. What factors might contribute to these distributions?
There is a large knowledge base out there that discusses the temporal and spatial distribution of crime. This literature base also explores the myriad of factors that are environmental predictors of these spatial and temporal distributions (Newman, 1973; Sherman, 1995; Sherman et al. 1989). Discuss what you believe are the factors that might contribute to the unequal distribution of crime across space and time? I also encourage each of you to bring additional questions to the community that pertains to this topic from current events.
