Exploring Incident-Based Crime Data: The Environmental and Situational Correlates of Victim Injury Risk and Severity in Non-fatal Violent Incidents (2009)

Prepared by the University of Texas at San Antonio

The authors of this study used NIBRS data for Amarillo, Denton, El Paso, Fort Worth, and Plano to examine the characteristics of environmental and situational correlates of victim injury during crime incidents. Based on the environmental criminological perspective, which suggests that the likelihood and extent of victim injury during a violent incident are shaped by immediate environmental and situational predictors, the project examines specific models to examine whether the likelihood of injury varies by crime type.
