  • Summary

    In this chapter, we begin by discussing how macro-level theories, such as social disorganization and collective efficacy, have been tested to understand the risk of victimization, followed by the application of routine activity theory to understand the locations of crime and risk of victimization at the individual or household level. We then turn to the characteristics of individuals that have long been seen as key to understanding victimization. Examining property crime victimization in our sample, our findings strongly support our interest in the impact of social context on crime.
