Abstract

Objectives

Examine how crimes against person (CAP) calls are spatially patterned around the Spurs’ arena and city. Using data from 2019–2021, we investigate the geospatial clustering of CAP calls when fans are and are not present.

Methods

CAP calls are separated by Spurs game day or not, home or away games, and before or during COVID-19. ArcGIS Pro is used to run optimized hot spot analyses and hot spot comparisons with similarity values and spatial fuzzy kappa for each comparison.

Results

The largest hot spot is around the Riverwalk and downtown, and days with home games do not increase hot spots around the arena. There are significant changes in hot spots across the city on days with home versus away games and during COVID-19 versus before.

Conclusions

The location of stadiums/arenas and proximity to popular areas with micro-facilities should be considered in sports and crime research and crime prevention discussions.

在有或没有圣安东尼奥马刺队比赛的日子里，针对人身犯罪的地理空间模式需要提供服务

摘要

目标

检查针对人身犯罪 (CAP) 的呼叫在马刺队球馆和城市周围的空间分布情况。使用 2019 年至 2021 年的数据，我们调查了球迷在场和不在场时 CAP 呼叫的地理空间聚类情况。

方法

CAP 电话会根据热刺比赛日或非比赛日、主场比赛或客场比赛以及 COVID-19 之前或期间分开。 ArcGIS Pro 用于运行优化的热点分析以及每次比较时与相似值和空间模糊 kappa 进行的热点比较。

结果

最大的热点是河滨步道和市中心周围，主场比赛的日子不会增加球馆周围的热点。在主客场比赛期间以及在 COVID-19 期间与之前相比，全市的热点地区发生了显着变化。

结论

在体育和犯罪研究以及预防犯罪讨论中，应考虑体育场/竞技场的位置以及是否靠近拥有微型设施的热门区域。
