IntroductionHot spots of crime have been defined as negative activity nodes, where offenders come into contact with victims, and where guardianship is lacking (Brantingham and Brantingham, 1993; Eck et al., 2023; Roncek and Maier, 1991; Sherman et al., 1989). This is in some sense the key idea of hot spots of crime, since they are generally defined by the amount of criminal activity measured in terms of official crime statistics (Weisburd, 2015; Weisburd et al., 2024c).
