This critical introduction to the geographies of crime highlights the specific value that a geographical perspective adds to the study of crime. Examining crime through the lenses of space and place is shown to enhance our understanding of the nature of crime and how best to police it. The book charts how the study of crime has been taken up by geographers both historically and today, as well as exploring the interdisciplnary nature of geographies of crime - its overlaps with criminology, sociology, economics - and the contributions from new theoretical perspectives from beyond geography, such as Southern criminology and green criminology. As well as discussing criminality at regional, national and global levels, the authors consider forms of offending that have received little attention to date, such as cybercrime, domestic violence and transnational organised crime. Geographies of policing and the criminal justice system are also examined. The book provides readers with an up-to-date survey of recent research in the geography of crime research and is an excellent entry point for students taking a range of courses in human and social geography, criminology and sociology.
