| Sumario: | The writers discuss ways of furthering the integration of routine activity and social disorganization theories. They argue that efforts to integrate the two predominant spatial theories of crime may benefit from an examination of empirical relationships at units of analysis smaller than the relatively large units typical of most ecological research. They draw on a study of street robbery in a medium-sized city in southeastern America. They conclude that several interaction effects between variables of social disorganization and routine activity theory may form the basis in future research for successful theoretical integration. |
