A study of ‘travel to crime’ patterns in Sheffield by Wiles and Costello (2000) found that 1) the vast majority of offender movements are relative short: on average offenders travelled only 1.93 miles to commit a crime from their homes 2) much travel is not primarily driven by plans but opportunities and 3) although the travel distance can be different depending on the offence type, an offender’s travel to crime is local in nature.
