The Geography of Soviet Criminality
研究发现苏联犯罪的地理分布独特，受人口流动和居住控制措施影响，城市化与犯罪率不相关，犯罪率从大城市转向远东和远北的新兴城市及快速扩张的小城镇。
A distinct geographical distribution of criminality exists in the Soviet Union as a result of the measures of social control exercised over the mobility and residence of the population, and that differentiates Soviet crime from that of both developing and developed countries. In the USSR increasing urbanization is not correlated with higher rates of criminality. As a result of the internal passport system and the difficulties of moving to large cities, the rates of criminality in the Soviet Union have shifted from the most populous cities of the USSR to the newly established cities of the far eastern and far northern parts of the USSR and to the rapidly expanding smaller urban centers.
