Zróżnicowanie przestrzenne przestępczości w mieście (na przykładzie Bielska-Białej)

Abstract

Spatial differentiation of crimes in Bielsko-Biała city was made on police statistical data. There were recorded 1 325 crimes in the city in 2014. The crimes were divided into 8 groups: murders, robberies, fights and batteries, rapes and sexual acts, thefts, burglaries, drug cri-mes and property damages. Urban estates were transformed into sectors and then characterized in respect of types and amounts of crimes. The concentration of prohibited acts was illustrated and as a result it turned out that there are more crimes committed in the city center and industrial districts then in the outlying areas. Additionally, in order to present thorough and full picture of deliquency there was created the index – the number of crimes per 1000 people at Bielsko-Biała sector. The results were summarized and show that the number of crimes declines accordingly to the distance from the centre to outskirts.
