Abstract  Geography of crime focuses mainly on the spatio-temporal patterns of the occurrence, development and distribution of crime. Since 20th century, many scholars devoted themselves to the study on geography of crime and kept its continuous development and innovation. Study on geography of crime in China started in the early 1980s, several scholars reviewed the researches in this field for the sake of pushing forward its domestic development. However, because of its rapidly development, the progress and innovation of studies on geography of crime in western countries since the new century have not been introduced systematically and comprehensively for the present. To understanding the process of the study of geography of crime in western countries, this paper gathered about 500 articles published after 2000, and made reference to the articles published in leading criminology and geography journals, such as Annals of the Association of American Geographers, Progress in Human Geography, Applied Geography, Professional Geographer, Criminology, Journal of Quantitative Criminology, and more. Overall, the recently rapid growth in geography of crime, contributed largely by innovative research methods and multidisciplinary analysis, is primarily embodies in the exploration of behavioral process and mechanism of crime. Specifically, the progresses in spatial and temporal patterns ofcrime, effect of social and physical environment on criminal behavior, crime simulations and criminal profiling, and crime prevention through environmental design are making the system and development course ofthe geography of crime become increasingly clear.
