Crime data come from official crime statistics and victimization surveys, while offender data come from police statistics and self-report studies. Residential burglary has been studied through spatial and ecological studies, the behavioral approach, the defensible space approach, and through social hypotheses. Research on violence has concluded demographic and lifestyle variables, offending behavior, and residential proximity to offenders are the risk factors associated with victimization by violent crime, although not all these variables are important for all types of crime. Studies of juvenile offenders have used the subcultural approach, labeling theory, and analyses of the residential community crime career. Fear of crime has been analyzed with respect to the impact of police patrols, the influence of the media, and whether women's fears are irrational. Police research has examined community policing, police advisory committees, racism and the police, and the impact of policing on crime levels. Crime prevention studies have focused on policies, the role of lighting, and the impact of crime prevention techniques on residential burglary and robbery.
