Abstract

This study takes Bao'an District, Shenzhen as the study area and analyzes the environmental factors affecting the distribution of theft crime victims among residents with different characteristics from the perspectives of built environment and social environment variables. The research results indicate that variables such as the proportion of juveniles, the proportion of the floating population, scientific and cultural facilities, and road network density all have a certain impact on the victimization of residents with different characteristics. Based on these findings, the paper proposes targeted prevention and control measures, including strengthening security patrols in areas frequently visited by women, paying attention to areas where non-local residents congregate, enhancing education and management for juveniles, improving community policing, increasing surveillance in key areas, and conducting safety awareness campaigns, to reduce the risk of theft crimes and protect the lives and property of the public.
