The highest number of robbery offenses and their distribution have occurred within the city's main streets, which shows the distribution pattern of Robbery crimes in the city-will follow the pattern of population density. In other areas and city streets have not seen much difference in the type of crimes. Nearly homogeneous scattered crimes show geographical areas are according to their characteristics that can influence the number and type of crimes. Crimes distribution and density patterns are following time, place and years’ seasons, which mean by changing trends of hours across the daily life, the kind of Robbery changed too. Also, there is meaningful correlation between crimes’ location and the repeated times’, and the kind of crime and its occurred season. This indicates that in each of the city's urban Spaces, due to their situations, occur a particular type of crime.
