Background Several studies have tested the reliability of Risk Terrain Modelling (RTM) by
focusing on different geographical contexts and types of crime or events. However, to date …

" Risk terrain modeling (RTM) diagnoses the spatial attractors of criminal behavior and
makes accurate predictions of where crime will occur at the micro-level. This book presents …

Prior research has applied risk assessment and spatial analysis techniques to the study of
violence. This paper builds on those results, tying the practical outcomes of spatial risk …

Research identifies various place features (eg, bars, schools, public transportation stops)
that generate or attract crime. What is less clear is how the spatial influence of these place …

As indicated by research on the long-term effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs),
maltreatment has far-reaching consequences for affected children. Effective prevention …

There are numerous hot spot mapping techniques that can be used in research and in
practice for predicting future crime locations. Due to differences in the varying techniques …

Purpose The current study investigates the application of risk terrain modeling (RTM) to
forecast gang violence. RTM is routinely utilized to predict future criminal events in micro …

Purpose The current research examines the utility of risk terrain modeling (RTM) in
developing an aggregate neighborhood risk of crime (ANROC) measure. RTM is often …

Social scientists have long shown great interest in the spatial correlates of crime patterns. A
subset of the literature has focused on how micro-level spatial factors influence the formation …

Spatial factors can influence the seriousness and longevity of crime problems. Risk terrain
modeling (RTM) identifies the spatial risks that come from features of a landscape and …
