A psycho-geography of crime areas: variations in the affective domain

Povzetek

Ten dimensions from the affective domain are proposed as characterizing the major attitu-des and feelings found in areas of high crime in cities. These dimensions are related to a previously proposed model of community differentiation by the author, that tried to sum-marize the range of features that cause community or residential areas to differ from one another. It is suggested that these crime area dimensions are variations of the previously proposed dimensions rather than unique sources of differentiation.
