Communities and Place: Understanding Social Processes and Improving Social Justice at Crime Hot Spots, Wed, Nov 16, 2:00 to 3:20pm, A704, Atrium Level
There is a large body of evidence that crime is concentrated in a relatively small number of places in a city defined as hot spots of crime, and that prevention focused on hot spots can be effective. However, we know comparatively little about how the social context of hot spots of crime relates social problems and social injustice at places. Using extensive datasets on 449 street segments in Baltimore City, MD obtained as part of a large longitudinal project (The Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Community Health and Anti-Social Behavior at Crime Hot Spots), this panel focuses on diverse social mechanisms and social justice issues on hot spots of crime. Two papers in this panel examine the mechanism of the broken windows theory and predictors of perceptions of police procedural justice and effectiveness at the street-level. The other two papers also examine racial differences in Whites’ and Blacks’ perceptions of the police as well as perceptions of disorder at the individual-level.
