Title: The law of concentrations of crime at place: the case of Tel Aviv-Jaffa
Abstract: Weisburd, Groff, and Yang argue that there is a 'law of concentrations of crime at place' within cities. In this paper, we provide a test for this proposition in Tel Aviv-Jaffa. We found that crime concentrations at street segments in 2010 were remarkably similar to those observed in American cities. About 4.5% of the street segments produced approximately 50% of the crime, and about 1% of street segments produced 25% of crime. Our study provides important verification of the broad applicability of the law of crime concentrations at place.
