Loading...The increasingly extensive hinterlandof Ljubljana is due to intensive suburbanization becoming an extremelytransitional area with a typical intertwining of urban and ruralsociogeographic elements. Among the effects of suburbanization we cancertainly deal with the appearance and increase of criminal acts. The datafor the year 2002 show that in the Ljubljana urban region there wereregistered more than 40 % of all criminal acts in Slovenia. By far most ofthem, almost 30 %, were registered in the Ljubljana municipality. Theendangerment is more notably increasing in the other communities of theLjubljana urban region, above all in those which were captured by the lastwave of suburbanization.
