  • More about Place Management and Crime: Ownership and Property Rights as a Source of Social Control


Place management is a social control strategy used by property owners to reduce crime and disorder in specific areas. It focuses on managing the physical environment and creating networks of places that can influence crime. This volume examines the theory and evidence of place management and its policy implications.

Place management is a novel approach to social control that emerged from the efforts of property owners seeking to address crime and disorder in their communities. Unlike the traditional domains of social control, which are formally established by the state and informally created by residents, place management is a decentralized and community-driven strategy. This approach has gained significant attention in recent years due to its ability to explain the high concentration of crime and disorder at a relatively small proportion of addresses and facilities.

In this volume, we explore the intricacies of place management and extend its reach in three significant ways. Firstly, we examine how high-crime places can radiate crime into their surrounding areas, creating a ripple effect of criminal activity. Secondly, we reveal the networks of places that contribute to crime hotspots, spanning multiple blocks and neighborhoods. Thirdly, we demonstrate how networks of place managers influence crime throughout entire communities.

Furthermore, we argue that the policy implications of place management extend far beyond the realm of law enforcement and should encompass regulatory policies as well. By implementing place management strategies, property owners, community organizations, and policymakers can work together to create safer and more prosperous communities.

In conclusion, place management is a powerful tool for addressing crime and disorder in communities. By leveraging the efforts of property owners, community organizations, and policymakers, we can create safer and more prosperous places for everyone to live and work.
