Such a claim could not have been made forty years ago. (Baldwin \u0026amp; Bottoms, 1976, p. 1). The above statement by Baldwin and Bottoms about the neglect in crimi- nology of the urban dimension of crime was made in the mid-1970s. However, in the last decade there has been a significant upswing in theory and research on crime in the urban environment. Also, new areas oftheory and research into urban crime have come into focus. (For overviews see Brantingham \u0026amp; Brantingham, 1984; Davidson, 1981.) One very good example of the increasing interest in urban crime is the recent volume of Crime and Justice entitled \"Communities and Crime\" (Reiss \u0026amp; Tonry, 1986), in which Reiss makes a strong argument for the importance of the study of crime in urban communities and for the linking of the ecological and individual traditions in theory and research on crime. A review of the literature on crime in urban environments shows, not unexpectedly, that Anglo-American research heavily dominates the scene (Wikstrom, 1982; 1987b). Hence, much of the experience we have on urban crime is based on North American and British research and theory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45282184528023,"sku":"9781461390794","price":3672.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781461390794.webp?v=1769301396","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/urban-crime-criminals-and-victims-the-swedish-experience-in-an-anglo-american-comparative-perspective-9781461390794","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
