Debate about whether crime is associated with sexually oriented businesses (SOBs) shows mixed results. However, previous research focuses only on crime (measured generally) in the neighborhoods surrounding such businesses. The present study examines all crime reported at the premises of all SOBs in Louisville, Kentucky. Analyses show that crime (violent, property, disorder and total) is higher at SOBs than a control group of bars, crime (especially violent crime) is significantly higher at strip clubs than adult bookstores, and across adult bookstores those with private video viewing booths have higher rates of crime than stores without such booths. Results are discussed and explained within the context of SOBs’ culture, daily flows of activity and typical patron characteristics.
