Abstract
with zero crime, for example, those in CCDswith high overall crime had an Incidence Rate Ratio (IRR) of 0.90 (95% CI 0.85, 0.97). At the SLA scale, those in high crime areas had an IRR of 0.97 (95% CI 0.95, 0.99). Discussion: These findings support the hypothesis that inconclusive results obtained in previous research on crime and health may be due, at least in part, to issues related to geographic scale. Thus, while crime in the wider environs should not be ignored, our results suggest that it is crime in the more local area that discourages physical activity.
