There are a large number of studies that suggest some basic demographic and socio-economic attributes and neighbourhood/area characteristics are related to crime. A strong association has been found between the level of property crime and some key economic and demographic factors (Shaw and McKay, 1942; Schmid, 1960; Herbert, 1982; Kongmuang, 1995). The next sections will describe the key attributes, including demographic, socio-economic, and area characteristics which are associated with crime.
