Roncek和Bell（1981）预见到日常活动理论的最新发展，发现酒吧和酒馆对1970年克利夫兰居民区的犯罪有不利影响。我们复制和扩展他们的工作，通过检查娱乐酒场所的影响（即，1979年至1981年，克利夫兰市居民区的犯罪率。在城市居民区的这类企业的数量对犯罪数量有积极的和统计上显著的影响。如果企业所在地区的物理特征与更多匿名和较低的监护有关，则对犯罪的影响更为复杂。我们的研究结果重申了日常活动理论的新发展的价值，现在强调设施的重要性。他们还扩展了最近试图确定和分析犯罪“热点”的工作。
Anticipating recent developments in routine activities theory, Roncek and Bell (1981) found that bars and taverns had detrimental effects on crime on residential city blocks in Cleveland for 1970. We replicate and extend their work by examining the effects of recreational liquor establishments (i.e., taverns and cocktail lounges) on crime from 1979 to 1981 on Cleveland's residential city blocks. The number of such businesses on residential city blocks has positive and statistically significant effects on the amount of crime. The effects on crime are compounded when the businesses are located in areas with physical characteristics that are associated with more anonymity and lower guardianship. Our results reaffirm the value of new developments in routine activities theory that now stress the importance of facilities. They also extend recent work attempting to identify and analyze “hot spots” of crime.
