There is a growing interest among geographers in the illicit. Within this there has been little interest in organized criminality. The A. argues that the development of a geographical perspective on organized crime is timely and seeks to map out
connections with both the extant literatures of organized crime anf those of human geography.

There is no clear relationship between urbanisation and crime in New Zealand. However this situation may be temporary, given the rapid escalation in the incidence of crime in the rapidly changing inner and outer suburbs of the largest cities
(Auckland City, Papakura, Otahihi appeared among the highest crime areas).

This study investigates daily, weekly, and seasonal variations of crime at underground stations in the Swedish capital, Stockholm. Findings show that crimes tend to happen more often in the evening, at night, on holidays, and on weekends
. There is also evidence of seasonal variations of crime. Stations with hiding spots are often targeted for crime during daily peak hours, whereas during holidays, crowded stations and those with alcohol selling outlets attract more criminal activities. Results
suggest that the role of the stations’ environment on crime causation varies over time—an important fact for safety interventions.

The impact of housing vouchers on crime in US cities and suburbs
This paper tests the common belief that subsidised housing contributes to higher crime rates in the United States. In cities, it is found that vouchers have a weak, negative relation-ship with violent crime rates, although these estimates
are not particularly robust. In suburban areas, there is no observed relationship between vouchers and crime, suggesting that controversies in those communities blaming voucher households for elevated crime rates are misguided.
