Criminologists review research that combines a spatial analysis with environmental criminology, mapping crime and deviance across different locations globally. They cover framing injustice in green criminology: activism, social movements, and geography; anthropology at the red-green crossroads; the Ferguson shooting, 2014: a spatial and media analysis; spatial patterns of mass shootings in the US 2013-14; homeless demography in Los Angeles County; police culture, gender, and crime in the Irish Free State; a spatial analysis of crime: The Wire television series and depictions of urban crime; and toward a spatial analysis of methamphetamine in North America.
