Underlying causes. Offenders find targets
while going about their normal legitimate
business—going to and from work,
recreation, shopping, school, and other
nodes of activity. Potential targets that are
not along the routes or near nodes used
by offenders will unlikely be victimized, but
those close to offenders’ routes and nodes
have elevated risks of victimization. Since
major thoroughfares concentrate people (including offenders), targets situated
along thoroughfares face higher crime
risks than targets on side streets far from
thoroughfares. Further, some types of targets
concentrate along major streets.
Convenience stores, fast food stores, gas
stations, and other retail places are sited
along major thoroughfares because that is
where their customers concentrate. So for
both reasons of offender movement patterns
and target placement patterns, many
crime hot spots are actually hot lines.
