Pill mills, occupational offending, and situational crime prevention: a framework for analyzing offender behavior and adaptationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 33 - Trang 161-178 - 2019
William D. Moreto, Jacinta M. Gau, Erika J. Brooke
The national problem with the misuse of opioid pain relievers is fueled by overly lax and illegal overprescribing practices. In the state of Florida, so-called “pill mills” are clinics in which physicians prescribe opioids for non-existent or exaggerated pain, often with profit as a motivation, thus making such prescribing a criminal enterprise. This study draws from in-depth interviews with polic...... hiện toàn bộ

Radio Links: A Case Study of a Cost-Effective Approach to Crime and DisorderSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2000

A ‘radio link’ is a radio communication system which allows people facing similar crime risks to talk to and listen out for each other. Over the last seven years the introduction of radio links within towns and cities throughout the United Kingdom has taken place almost without comment from academics or security practitioners. This case study will argue that radio links provide local authorities a...... hiện toàn bộ

Do sports stadiums generate crime on days without matches? A natural experiment on the delayed exploitation of criminal opportunitiesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 32 - Trang 1-19 - 2018
Christophe Vandeviver, Wim Bernasco, Stijn Van Daele
Crime pattern theory claims that busy places generate crime through immediate and delayed exploitation. In delayed exploitation, offenders notice criminal opportunities during opening hours but return to exploit them later. This study investigates delayed exploitation by testing whether soccer stadiums locally increase police-recorded property crime on non-game days. A soccer stadium closure creat...... hiện toàn bộ
Bomb threats and reports of suspicious items in the Philippines: Spatial and temporal patternsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 30 - Trang 665-685 - 2017
Dan Jerome S Barrera
Previous research on bomb threats focused primarily on offender characteristics and ignored the spatial and temporal patterns of these events. This study argues that bomb threats and reports of suspicious items are non-random events in space and time. Thus, the study explores the spatial and temporal patterns of these phenomena in the Philippines from January 2010 to April 2014. The author retriev...... hiện toàn bộ
