ABSTRACT
The journey to crime is one of the central elements of environmental criminology. The connection between where offenders live and where they offend is of both theoretical and practical interest in the study of the geography of crime. The nature of this relationship is addressed by both Brantingham and Brantingham's (1993c) crime pattern theory and Cohen and Felson's (1979) routine activity theory; it also informs the core functioning of geographic profiling models. Despite this conceptual centrality, little is known of the spatial dynamics of the journey to crime beyond the distance between offenders' homes and their crime sites.
