A quick definition of geography of crime:

The geography of crime is the study of where crimes happen and why they happen in those places. It is a part of criminology, which is the study of crime and punishment. Environmental criminology is another term for this field of study. It looks at the areas where crimes occur and tries to understand why offenders are active in those areas.

A more thorough explanation:

The geography of crime is a branch of criminology that studies the relationship between crime and the environment. It examines why certain areas have higher crime rates than others and how the physical and social characteristics of a place can influence criminal behavior.

For example, environmental criminologists might study a neighborhood with a high rate of burglary to determine what factors make it an attractive target for thieves. They might look at things like the layout of the streets, the types of buildings, and the presence of security measures like alarms and cameras.

Another example might be studying the relationship between crime and poverty. Environmental criminologists might examine how living in a low-income area with limited job opportunities and poor housing conditions can contribute to criminal behavior.

Overall, the geography of crime seeks to understand the complex interplay between people and their environment when it comes to criminal activity.

Do the admissions offices close on Veterans Day?
I think someone here was really interested in Cornell Law. I forgot their username now but I just talked to the Cornell admissions rep at the Houston LSAC fair and apparently 2/3 of people who interview at Cornell ultimately get in.

I wonder what it’s dependent on? Are the 2/3 chosen on stats, or interview performance, or more holistically?
I'm honestly not sure
