LTMonografija - tai nusikalstamumo erdvinių struktūrų ir jų kaitos studija, analizuojanti 1990-2010 m. Klaipėdoje įvykdytus nusikaltimus, jų geografinę sklaidą ir juos lėmusius veiksnius. Ypatingas dėmesys skirtas nusikaltimams, kurie labiausiai žeidžia saugumo jausmą urbanistinėje aplinkoje: smurtiniams nusikaltimams, vagystėms, nelegaliai narkotinių medžiagų apyvartai ir prekybai namine degtine. Studijoje derinama geografinė ir sociologinė nusikaltimų analizė, siekiant parodyti, kaip posovietinės visuomenės transformacijos struktūruoja nusikaltimų erdvę, jų koncentraciją konkrečiose miesto vietose ir jų erdvines slinktis.

EN[...] This book about crime in Klaipėda during the period of 1990-2010 is a geographical and sociological study of the city. It is an analytical approach to the crime areas, structures and shifts in the Lithuanian seaport city, which happened during the period of great social transformations. The key objective of the book is to visualize the familiar, but often invisible and dangerous side of the changing city, i.e. the territorial expansion of crime. The study looks into the environment that we live in, where hotspots of crime, thefts, illicit drug trafficking and unlawful production and trade of distilled spirits exist side by side with our everyday routines. This is a study about everyday crimes which usually go unnoticed by many, because they do not trigger a greater social reaction of inhabitants. As researchers, we have been interested in issues of more general and analytical character, i.e. what social processes structure the crime areas in the post-soviet city, how crime areas have been changing, what determines the higher crime concentration in specific locations in the city and their dispersion in the long run. The book is an analysis of the crime areas. It is not about criminals. Criminological studies often concentrate on reconstruction of the portrait of a criminal and the motivation that is behind a criminal act itself. This book, however, addresses the subject of the spatial concentration and dynamics of crime. Therefore, the central statements in the book are about urban spaces and their changes; it does not concerns criminals or social groups living there. [...].The study provides a clear understanding of the crimes committed in the post-Soviet urban space. The frequently used word post-Soviet is not merely a descriptive label. Rather it is an analytical concept that ties up space and crime with specific social processes. The concept post-Soviet space envisages the change of urban spaces and the crime shift that is the result of changing, mutually competing and coexisting social systems when the social space regime experiences changes, its perception is modified, functions of urban objects, values, macro and micro control regimes undergo revision.
