“…Data from 1988 indicate that 13 percent of victims lost at least one day of work (Harlow 1988), while 1985 data show that victims of auto theft (49 percent) reported more inconvenience and practical problems than victims of burglary (19 percent; Hough and Mayhew 1985).…”

This study explores causes of variation in auto theft rates using spatial data with face blocks as a unit of analysis. An integration of routine activity theory and social disorganization theory is proposed, premised on an empirical basis of interaction effects and a pattern of automobile theft diffusion. The results show that the integration of social disorganization theory and routine activity theory significantly increases the predictive power of the analyses and reveals several new socioecological implications for how and why auto theft occurs.

“…(Hindeland et al 1978;Garofalo 1979;Warr 1984;Stanko 1995). Other studies have shown that older people are more fearful but are less concerned about being victimized because they do not experience the same lifestyle as young people (Hough and Mayhew 1985;Hough 1995). Regarding the social aspect, even though there are fewer research focusing on poverty as a dimension of concern about crime or vulnerability comparing to gender and age, some researchers have been able to demonstrate that poor people are more vulnerable and more fearful than the rest of the population (Pantazis and Gordon 1998).…”

Scientifically, little is known about white-collar crime in Switzerland or concern about white-collar crime and even less about how concerned bank employees are about this criminality. This article is based on a small opinion survey of Swiss bank employees and tries to explore perceptions of seriousness and concern about white-collar crime among people who, in their position, might have to face this issue regularly. Past assumptions on the public's indifference towards white-collar crime seem not to be confirmed in this study as the results obtained demonstrate a greater sensitivity with respect to white-collar crime and especially towards crimes perpetrated by corporations. Even though Swiss bank employees do qualify white-collar offences as very serious acts, they are still more punitive with regard to ordinary crimes.

“…This falling confidence in the police capacity to deal with crime is registered in numerous surveys of public opinion, notably the British Crime Surveys conducted by the Home Office Research Unit in the 1980s (Hough and Mayhew 1985).…”
