Crime seasonality and the micro-spatial patterns of property crime in Vancouver, BC and Ottawa, ON

  • Linning, Shannon J.

Abstract

Early criminological research has found that the frequency of crime is not consistent throughout the year and that crime often peaks in the summer months. What has gone largely understudied, however, is how the respective spatial patterns are impacted over time. This study investigates whether seasonal variation exists temporally across different property crime types and whether these same offences possess micro-spatial patterns that vary substantially over the calendar year.
