“…Geographically weighted regression (GWR) offers a methodology in which to explore this variation, and this is the approach taken in the present research. GWR has been used to explore a wide range of phenomena, ranging from mosquitos (Ge et al, ; Lin & Wen, ) to obesity (Chalkias et al, ; Wen, Chen, & Tsai, ), participation in higher education (Harris, Singleton, Grose, Brunsdon, & Longley, ), and school attainment (Fotheringham, Charlton, & Brunsdon, ). There have only been a small number of studies where GWR has been used to understand crime.…”
