How, if at all, does the notion of a "criminology of place" differ from more traditional ecological theories? Do you see the approach of criminology of place as capable of offering anything new over traditional approaches? If so, what?
What will be an ideal response?
The criminology of place focuses on the importance of geographic location and architectural features as associated with the prevalence of victimization. It differs somewhat from more traditional ecological theories because it focuses on the built environment and on victimization rather than on criminality.
Answers will vary.
