O autorze

Martin A. Andresen is Assistant Professor at Simon Fraser University, School of Criminology and Institute for Canadian Urban Research Studies. His research areas include: spatial statistical analysis, crime at places, and co-offending with recent research published in Annals of the Association of American Geographers, British Journal of Criminology, Environment and Planning, A European Journal of Criminology, European Sociological Review, and Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency. J. Bryan Kinney is the Director of the Institute for Canadian Urban Research Studies (ICURS) Laboratory. In 2005 he received his PhD (Criminology) at Simon Fraser and joined the faculty of the School of Criminology in that same year, where he teaches graduate and undergraduate courses on environmental criminology, crime prevention, and crime analysis. Dr. Kinney's publications include work on crime and place, offender mobility, target selection and crime pattern analysis, and have appeared in The Built Environment, Crime Patterns and Analysis, and Security Journal. Beyond his continued interest in environmental criminology, his research interests include interdisciplinary projects involving computational criminology and criminal justice systems modeling.
