Protection Management

Paper Summary:

The paper studies four articles, discovering patterns of criminal activity and outlining the ways that these patterns can be limited more effectively. According to the paper, all four articles, while examining a range of crimes and a variety of criminals, share an interest in considering the effects of environment and the behavior of potential victims in preventing or minimizing the impact of crime.

From the Paper:

"Lawrence W. Sherman (1989) writes, "The most important area of social science for security administration is arguably the criminology of place" (p. 40). All four of these articles consider the role that place plays in the commission of crimes. Setting can often determine the likelihood that a crime will be committed and the probable type of crime that will occur. Likelihood and type can also be affected by altering the environment, and not always in the most obvious ways of installing security cameras and increasing the on-site security force."
