Opportunity in transit: bus stop crowding and crime
Abstract Fifty years after the introduction of the Crime as Opportunity theory, this paper applies its core insights to a micro-temporal empirical setting to examine how short-lived fluctuations in urban mobility shape street crime. While transit nodes are recognized as crime generators, previous…

Classifying vehicle-as-a-weapon attacks: an inductive taxonomy and design implications
Abstract Vehicle-as-a-Weapon (VAAW) attacks, distinct from explosive-based vehicle attacks (VBIEDs), pose an evolving threat to public, urban spaces. Existing security guidance overlooks spatial, behavioural, and operational nuances, limiting effective design and response. This paper proposes a…

Situational contexts of homicide: variations across homicide types
Abstract Purpose While it has been widely recognised by researchers that many homicides are reactions to immediate circumstances, there is little research that formally analyses homicide from the situational crime perspective. Methods This study presents the quantitative results from structured…

The design-enforcement gap in diamond sanctions: a three-round modified Delphi study of enforceability
Abstract Background Since 2022, the G7, the European Union and the United Kingdom have progressively restricted the import of Russian-origin diamonds. Diamonds present an unusually demanding test case for sanctions design because their physical properties make geographic origin difficult to…

Hukou-based residential composition, inbound routine activity mobility, and recorded theft in Shanghai
Abstract Purpose Crime-and-place research increasingly distinguishes residential context from the populations that enter neighborhoods through daily activity. This study examines whether inbound routine activity mobility is associated with recorded theft differently across Shanghai communities with…

Dynamic crime mapping: improving the interpretation of spatial crime patterns
Abstract Spatial analysis is central to crime science, yet the primary medium used to communicate spatial findings remains the static map. While static cartography effectively illustrates broad spatial patterns, it is often limited in its ability to convey hierarchical, multi-scale, or temporally…

Homicide hotspots in Chicago: disentangling background persistent risk from contagion dynamics
Abstract Purpose Crime-reduction strategies often assume that hotspot crime is driven by near-repeat victimization, overlooking other mechanisms that may produce similar patterns. This study underscores the need to design prevention strategies based on prior identification of the processes that…

The topology of cyberspace and cybercrime journeys: a framework for analyzing online offender mobility
Abstract Purpose This paper introduces a novel framework for analyzing online offender mobility. Methods Drawing on multidisciplinary insights, we extend two established criminological models for studying offline offending—the geometry of crime and crime journeys—by adapting their core concepts to…

Crime opportunity theory: the state of the art
Abstract The 1976 monograph Crime as Opportunity initiated a paradigm for how crime and criminality should be understood and controlled. Here we define a crime opportunity as any situation in which the benefits of committing crime outweigh the costs, and group crime opportunity-related theories and…

Creation and exploitation in crime opportunity: how 62 ideas help tackle a 50-year-old problem
Abstract Mayhew and colleagues (1976) showed that opportunities for crime matter, sparking a revolution in crime theory, research, and prevention. But they could not resolve a conflict between subjective and objective interpretations of opportunity: does a crime opportunity depend on an offender…

Widening the aperture of the opportunity lens: engaging local stakeholders in the interpretation of crime concentrations
Abstract This article discusses the value of integrating spatial crime analysis with local stakeholder engagement to fully leverage opportunity theory in community crime prevention. We begin by describing the literature on opportunity theory applications and the limitations of that research, noting…

Enhancing Rossmo’s criminal geographic targeting model through environmental and land-use spatial layers: a case study of the Atlanta homicides (1979–1981)
Abstract Purpose This study proposes an enhancement of traditional geographic profiling by expanding the range of spatial variables incorporated into Rossmo’s Criminal Geographic Targeting (CGT) formula. Rather than replacing the original CGT framework, the proposed approach refines its output by…

Opportunity extended — via development of an interactive counterterrorism toolkit
Abstract From its origins in Crime as Opportunity and related papers, through to its current incorporation within crime science, the concept of opportunity has played an important role in research and practice. Yet much of the thinking behind the concept has remained implicit, intuitive and static…

From storytelling to scripting: eight principles for deconstructing crime events
Abstract This paper aims to improve crime script analysis, with a particular focus on breaking script stages into smaller, more precise steps. After outlining existing scripting methods, we then introduce eight principles designed to guide both the creation of crime scripts and the evaluation of…
