Abstract
The objective of this study was to analyze the spatial pattern of crime
distribution (mainly property crime) throughout Brazilian municipalities, investigating
their relation with structural characteristics. To reach this aim, property crime
agglomerates (CA) were measured and the probability of a municipality having a CA was
estimated using the Spatial Probit mode. The analysis identified that formal control,
surveillance environment and social intervention as well as the availability of targets
and offenders are decisive elements for a municipality to have a CA. Regionally, the
surveillance environment and the availability of targets and offenders were the
predominant elements.
