Methadone maintenance reduces crime among those treated, but the relationship between MTCs and neighborhood crime is unknown.

Concentric circular \u2018buffers\u2019 were drawn at 25\u2010m intervals up to 300 m around each site. We used Poisson regression to assess the relationship between crime counts (incidents per unit area) and distance from the site.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Findings\u2003<\/jats:bold> There was no significant geographic relationship between crime counts and MTCs or hospitals. A significant negative relationship (parameter estimate \u22120.3127, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003&lt;\u20030.04) existed around stores in the daytime (7 am\u20137 pm), indicating higher crime counts closer to the stores.
