Abstract
In this chapter, as background to and point of departure for the ecological and environmental analyses presented in Chapters 7 and 8, Stockholm and its different areas are presented, and the urban structure of the research area is analyzed. Special emphasis is given to the area distribution of housing, population composition, and routine activities because these are factors thought to influence the area patterns of crime and victimization. In addition, basic data about crime rates and crime trends for the city of Stockholm will be shown.
