The role of space and place has a long tradition in American criminology largely germinating from the ground-breaking research of Shaw and McKay (1942). Yet by the 1960s and 1970s, criminological attention had turned almost wholly to individual-level causes of crime. Over the past three decades, however, researchers have rediscovered the central role of communities in the causation and control of crime. Like people, communities have a criminal history or "criminal career"; they experience relatively more or less criminal activity than both other places in the city and compared to their own levels at earlier periods in time. To the extent that the natural history of a community affects its current crime rates, its reputation for violence, and its projected levels and patterns of crime and violence in the future, the idea that a community may follow a specific type of trajectory, or "career" may...
