Abstract: Bars have an established relationship to crime and are routinely operationalized as an important predictor of crime occurrence. However, despite this reputation, an interesting paradox exists in that most bars are not criminogenic. This study attempts to explain the variation in crime levels at bars by observing their environments over time.
