I would argue that geographers have been unjustiliably selective in their use of crimino- logical theory in developing geographic perspec- tives on crime. Geographers‘ choice of perspec- tives and theories from criminology appears to have been guided more by specific world views and unexplored epistemological persuasions than by rigorous appraisal of the range of per- spectives available in criminology: particularly overlooked have been interactionist and radical perspectives.
