Abstract
Until this chapter, we have assumed crime-involved places contained considerable reported crime and we assumed these places operated independently. In this chapter, we examine places that facilitate crime elsewhere, although little or no reported crime occurs within these places (they are invisible on crime maps)s. We also investigate networks of crime involved places. Place networks may provide the infrastructure for many durable violence hot spots. There are four types of crime-involved places that can be found in these network: each serves a different role in the crime enterprise. The failure to address the network of crime-involved places allows violence to return after police interventions. Place network investigations (PNI), designed to address these networks, are a new approach to curbing violence. In the few years they have been applied, they appear to be reasonably successful.
