The key role of places very small areas such as a street corner, an address, a building or street segment -- in the study of crime is explored in 15 papers by criminologists. Particular emphasis is given to "hot spots" of criminality, the geographic distribution of crime places, and the new technology of computer mapping of crime.

The theme of this volume is the development and application of theory for use in situational crime prevention. The theoretical perspectives and concepts discussed include the rational choice perspective, environmental criminology, routine activity theory, repeat victimization, problem-oriented policing, the script analytical approach, and displacement. Some of the chapters critically analyze these ideas while others apply them to specific crime problems or to situational crime prevention practice.

This book and accompanying website takes a new approach in the battle to capture the attention and serve student needs: It asks each child and teen to construct their own home page using iGoogle, and construct three sections of their own information space: Personal Space (with assignments, calendars, hobbies, and other critical personal tools). This is a very tightly controlled space that the student can c
