Crime

Crime is the breach of rules or laws for which some governing authority (via mechanisms such as legal systems) can ultimately prescribe a conviction.[1]

Types of crime

A uniformly accepted categorisation of crime does not exist; rather, each country uses its own classification and often more than one.

In the context of urban planning, not all types of crimes are equally relevant, due to:

  • the extent to which they are infuenceable by means of urban design;
  • the extent to which they form a risk, both in terms of likelihood of occurence and impact;

Occurence of crime

Not every type of crime occurs equally frequent. The crime statistics of England and Wales of the year 2010-2011[2] present the following ratios in recorded crime types:
