Do different types of street robberies occur at different types of places? Environmental criminology has not yet incorporated how spatial characteristics affect a crime's modus operandi. The current study improves upon that situation by (a) empirically deriving a typology for street robbery through cluster analysis, based on the modus operandi, & (b) relating the number of street robberies per subtype to the local conditions where they occurred. Three distinct robbery types were identified -- differing with respect to victim injury, weapon use, number of robbers & victims, & loot. Different types of street robberies have different spatial causes, to a certain extent. Adapted from the source document.
