| Summary: | The current study explores populational and environmental factors associated with violent crime. Specifically, it compares ambient and residential populations with regard to their association with assault density at a fine spatial and temporal unit in a city with socio-economic control variables. The results show that the ambient population are consistently associated with the level of assaults throughout the four time periods in a day, while residential population does not contribute much to explaining its variation. In addition, we also find that the percentage of single-member households and the distance to the nearest subway station are constantly associated with assault density, while the proportion of non-residential use and the land price are partially associated |
