  • Associations Between Greenspace and Street Crimes in Toronto: Evidence from a Spatial Analysis Study at Dissemination Area Level
    Associations between Greenspace and street Crimes in Toronto: Evidence from a spatial analysis study at dissemination area level by Odunayo Onifade A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Science in Geography Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2020 © Odunayo Onifade 2020 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Introduction: Earlier criminologists have explored various factors generating or attracting crime in urban cities coupled with crime studies focusing on the influence of social, built and natural environments in urban centres. According to Statistics Canada (2019), the Crime severity index of Canada and Toronto has been on the rise since 2014, which found the violent crime severity index showing higher trends than non-violent crime severity. This study, first, examined the crime trends and seasonality in Toronto. Next, the association between greenspace variables and street crime rates across the city at the dissemination level using the spatial statistical methods were explored. Previous crime studies have also investigated the relationship between the crime rate (property and violent) and greenspace, albeit this study only focused on analyzing crime that usually occurs outsides, namely “street crimes.” There are two schools of thought concerning the association between crime rates and greenspace. The first belief suggests greenspace facilitates criminal activities because it conceals the offender from the victims/bystanders, while the second belief insists that greenspace deter criminal activities.

  • CRIME and INDIVIDUAL and NEIGHBOURHOOD SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS in the CITY of TORONTO BY: GABBY LEE BA Geographic Analysis, Ryerson University, 2016
    CRIME AND INDIVIDUAL AND NEIGHBOURHOOD SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS IN THE CITY OF TORONTO BY: GABBY LEE BA Geographic Analysis, Ryerson University, 2016 A MRP presented to Ryerson University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Spatial Analysis in the program of Spatial Analysis Toronto, Ontario, Canada, 2017 ©Gabby Lee, 2017 Abstract: The overall objective of this study is to determine what neighbourhood and offender-related demographic characteristics impact crime rates in the City of Toronto. By doing so, quantitative and qualitative approaches were implemented in this study. This study includes both property and violent crime datasets from 2014-2016 and census related information from the 2011 Canadian Census. The advancing techniques of Geographical Information System (GIS) has been explored and applied to achieve a thorough understanding of crime occurrences and patterns in the city. Hotspot and Kernel Density mapping were applied to analyze the spatial distribution of crime occurrences and account for spatial autocorrelation. Findings revealed that property and violent crimes across the three years of study showed similar distribution of significant hotspots in the core, Northwest, and East end of the city. An Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression was conducted to examine the ways in which individual and neighbourhood demographic characteristics predict the effects of crime occurrences. The OLS model was a good predictor for offender-related demographics as opposed to neighbourhood level demographics at the 0.05 significant level. These findings revealed that social disadvantaged neighbourhood characteristics such as low income, unemployment, low education, female lone parent were poor predictors of property crimes but good predictors for violent crimes.

  • Race, Place and Crime Through the Lens of Toronto's Print Media By
    Race, Place and Crime through the Lens of Toronto’s Print Media By Vanessa N. Rhodes A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in The Faculty of Social Science and Humanities Criminology University of Ontario Institute of Technology July 2015 © Vanessa N. Rhodes, 2015 RACE, PLACE AND CRIME IN MEDIA Abstract Geographical areas with high concentrations of impoverished racialized groups tend to experience disproportionate rates of violence in Canada. As news media heavily focuses on crime reports, violence often comes to characterize the affected neighbourhoods. News reports can impact audience levels of fear and scholars argue that disproportionate reporting of crime-related events can instil fear among the public. To date, there has been no study that examines a moral panic of neighbourhoods. Therefore, this thesis examines how the racialization of crime and the criminalization of place coalesce to create a moral panic of a neighbourhood. To examine the media’s role in creating fear, two Toronto newspapers were sampled over a 14-year period. A frame analysis was conducted to investigate how Toronto newspapers framed Kingston- Galloway between 1998-2012. Findings suggest that Toronto newspapers racialize crime and criminalize place, which may aid in the construction of a moral panic of a neighbourhood. Keywords: Crime, frame analysis, moral panic, race, racialization i RACE, PLACE AND CRIME IN MEDIA Acknowledgements I would first like to thank my committee members, Dr. Steven Downing and Dr. Carla Cesaroni for your support throughout this process. Also, Dr. Scot Wortley for your insight and thoughtful advice.

Il a été fondé à peine deux mois après l'annonce précipitée par Aéroports de Montréal (ADM) de sa décision de transférer les vols internationaux de Mirabel à Dorval. CQV trouvait inacceptable qu'aucune véritable étude d'impacts sur la vie des citoyens riverains n'ait été entreprise, et sans aucune consultation publique. Après 12 ans de vaines tentatives d'obtenir justice par le biais du système de justice canadien, nous avons décidé, le 24 avril 2008, d'abandonner cette voie pour nous orienter vers l'approche politique. Entendons nous bien: nous déclarons solennellement n'être nullement un organisme partisan, parce qu'on retrouve parmi nos membres des citoyens de toutes les tendances politiques. Tout ce qui nous rassemble est uniquement basé sur un désir de justice et de probité de nos dirigeants politiques.
