The interrelationship of crime and health at microgeographic places is an understudied area of research. While research on the geography of health provides an ecological perspective on the role of the built environment and how the use of public spaces impacts well-being, the role of crime and violence in these places is not typically a central focus. Alternatively, a subset of criminological studies has been interested in the effects of crime and disorder on health, particularly mental health, but typically at larger units of analysis such as neighborhoods. Our article provides a systematic review of research on the intersection of crime and health at microplaces, with a focus on violence and stress-related health outcomes. Our systematic search produced eight relevant studies on the relationship between violence and health at the microgeographic level. These largely fall under studies interested in public spaces, such as parks, or residential spaces. A relatively new large-scale survey in Baltimore has also been increasingly utilized to investigate these questions and holds much promise for future inquiry. Directions for future research will also be discussed.

暴力、场所和健康：文献综述


微观地理区域犯罪与健康的相互关系是一个尚未得到充分研究的研究领域。虽然健康地理学的研究提供了关于建筑环境的作用以及公共空间的使用如何影响福祉的生态视角，但这些地方的犯罪和暴力的作用通常不是中心焦点。另外，犯罪学研究的一部分感兴趣的是犯罪和混乱对健康（特别是心理健康）的影响，但通常是在更大的分析单位（例如社区）中。我们的文章对微型场所犯罪与健康交叉点的研究进行了系统回顾，重点关注暴力和压力相关的健康结果。我们的系统搜索产生了八项关于微观地理层面暴力与健康之间关系的相关研究。这些主要属于对公园或住宅空间等公共空间感兴趣的研究。巴尔的摩一项相对较新的大规模调查也越来越多地被用来调查这些问题，并为未来的调查带来了很大希望。还将讨论未来研究的方向。
