Distance Travelled to Commit Crime

We know that offenders often commit crimes close to home. One recent study looking at auto crime offenders (Rose, 2000) showed that to commit the offence:

  • 35% of offenders travelled 4 miles or less

  • 20% of offenders travelled between 5 and10 miles

  • a further 20% travelled between 11 and 30 miles

How far this pattern applies to robbery is unclear, especially in the light of the concentration of robberies at bus and rail stations.
