Dissertation
Unequal Neighbors in Diverse Neighborhoods: Accounting for Variation in the Impact of Relative Inequality on Neighborhood Crime
2024
Overview
Research demonstrates that crime rate differences across racially segregated urban communities are primarily attributable to uneven distributions of resources between neighborhoods. Less is known about the role economic inequality within neighborhoods, what I call relative inequality, plays in maintaining ethno-racial criminal disparities. In this dissertation I explore sources of variation in the impact of relative inequality on neighborhood crime by drawing on data from the 2010-2013 National Neighborhood Crime Study Panel (NNCS2-P). I find that relative inequality effects are attenuated in higher disadvantage neighborhoods and this interaction accounts for differences in effect size by neighborhood ethno-racial composition. Results also show that relative inequality effects are weakened in cities that are more segregated, have greater minority political empowerment, and have more neighborhood development organizations. These findings suggest that initiatives to integrate and economically revitalize disadvantaged neighborhoods will not be sufficient to reduce crime and disorder so long as neighbors remain unequal.
