Abstract：Urban spatial anti-crime study is multi-discipline research crossing urban geography, crime geography and other related subjects. This paper review the development of urban spatial anti-crime study in China from the perspective of history and analyzes from four aspects. (1) Tracing the source-learning and criticism. The enormous of crime research findings of overseas provides China both theories, including traditional theories, the crime new theories and the urban crime space theories, and experience. (2) Developing process-from idea to practice. The researches on urban spatial anti-crime study in China experienced a short but rapid developing process from the introduction to research results abroad and the generation of scientific ideas, to the application in Chinese context, and then to the establishment of primary theoretical system. (3) Extracting and purifying-concepts and theoretical frameworks. The researches on urban spatial anti-crime study in China provided essential requirements for make general guidelines of the theoretical framework in 1980-2000. The researchers clarified the concept connotation and theoretical points of spatial anti-crime study. (4) Prospect-extending and deepening. The objective urbanization demand in China is a great driving force for the development of urban spatial anti-crime study. And geography will gain significant and unique achievement in the research field of urban spatial anti-crime study. The theoretical framework of the research on urban spatial anti-crime study contains three main points which are a comprehensive view of crime origin, the essential elements of crime and the environment effects to crime, and, contains three main points of its applied theory which are the integrated anti-crime system, the planning and designing of city environment and the spatial management of city areas. The practice of spatial anti-crime study includes the construction of comprehensive system of it, the adaptation of city space for anti-crime, the comprehensive treatment of criminal spatial blind areas and the strengthening spatial management of regional unit.
