Abstract

THE PAPER FOCUSES ON A CITY-BY-CITY ANALYSIS AND ON A COMPARISON ACROSS THE CITIES OF SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES IN THE PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED AND IN THE PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS DEVELOPED. THE ANALYSIS DEMONSTRATES THAT THE TECHNIQUES AND METHODS OF THE CRIME-ORIENTED PLANNING PROCESS WERE UTILIZED DIFFERENTIALLY ACROSS THE CITIES. SOME CITIES CONDUCTED EXTENSIVE ANALYSES OF THEIR OWN INSTITUTIONS AIMED AT REDUCING CRIME, THE VICTIMS AFFECTED BY THESE CRIMES, THE OFFENDER-PERPETRATORS, AND THE SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC ENVIRONMENTS AND LOCATIONS WHERE THESE CRIMES OCCUR WITH THE HIGHEST FREQUENCY. OTHER CITIES, FOR VARIOUS REASONS, RELIED LESS ON THE OBJECTIVE VERIFICATION OF THEIR CRIME PROBLEMS, BUT PREFERRED TO CONCENTRATE ON MASSIVE PROGRAMS OF INSTITUTIONAL UPGRADING. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT)
