Abstract

Urban crime is differentiated among space and time. Recognition of temporal patterns of urban crime will help us for better understanding crime phenomenon in the city. The routine activity theory is the most widespread methodological framework of its empirical research. Tempo, rhythm, and timing of the routine activities are crucial for understanding temporal crime patterns. It is proved that the particular seven types of crime (Fights and battery, Robbery, Drug crimes, Residential crimes, Commercial crimes, Car crimes, Theft of property) have different temporal pattern in: long-run, seasonal, monthly, weekly, and daily patterns of urban crimes, taking the city of Gdynia in the years 2004-2014 as an example.
