title: Who, what, when, where: using online data to assess the charactertistics and criminogenic dynamics of guardianship ecologies
abstract: While the crime and place literature offer multiple theories that can help us understand why some places experience more crime than others, there is frequently ambiguity in assumptions or expectations across theories. Often times, this arises because theories include concepts or analytic scales that have traditionally been difficult for researchers to measure, rendering the theories untestable. However, as methodologies for measuring abstract social dynamics and micro-spatial scales have improve
