Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Studies of crime traditionally focus on individuals (e.g. offenders). Recently there is a growing trend of the study of spatial-temporal factors of crime. The shift of the trend was initialed by the classical piece of routine activities theory by Cohen and Felson who argued crime happens when there is a convergence in space and time of suitable targets, motivated offenders and the absence of capable targets. While Crime clusters in certain “hot spots” has been well-documented, there have been relatively fewer researches about whether crime is unevenly distributed across time This study focuses on the temporal variation of street robberies across places based on routine activities theory. My study will fill the gap of previous studies in two aspects. First, no studies have ever compared the temporal patterns of crime given different crime rates across places. By so doing, I believe we can dispatch the police force more efficiently. Second, some studies trying to apply routine activities theory to support their hypothesis on the variation of crime within certain period of time never really tested the premises of routine activities theory. This study allows us to apply the routine activities approach to test whether street robberies peak in the night time and whether there is difference in temporal patterns of crime given different levels of crimes rates across places.
