You Can’t Park There!”
In this study, we examine how gentrification shapes the enforcement of residential parking permit violations while accounting for calls for service. And we consider if the relationship between calls for service and parking violations is contingent upon a given neighborhood's stage of gentrification. Using Washington, D.C. as a study site, we find that census block groups in early as opposed to late stages of gentrification tend to have the highes…
Proximity to gentrification and order maintenance policing
Prior studies find that neighbourhoods abutting gentrifying spaces are viewed as ideal for capital investments and thereby subjected to increased police attention. Yet the categorical operationalisation of gentrification in such work presents limitations, particularly given that it is a spatial process. This area of scholarship also warrants a theoretical explanation of the diffusion of urban redevelopment and disorder policing. We address these …
Blacks Can’t Jump”
This study demonstrates that racially disparate fare evasion citation outcomes are the product of racialized social systems that allow transit police officers to determine the belongingness of Black riders in systems of mass transit. Using citation data from the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, we test the impact of race and place attributes on transit officer decisions to allocate punishment for subway fare evasion using mixed eff…

The policing of subway fare evasion in postindustrial Los Angeles
According to the postindustrial policing thesis, cities that use cultural development strategies to attract new residents and visitors rely on order maintenance policing tactics to reinforce middle-class perspectives of safety and civility. This study applies that thesis to understand how shifting social structural dynamics influence the policing of fare evasion across the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority subway system. In accordance wi…
Race and Rationality
Although scholarship challenges the idea that individuals are completely rational, rationality remains a driving explanation of offender decision-making. For example, the journey to crime literature relies on offender rationale to explain where individuals purchase illicit drugs. However, the assumption that individual rationality is homogenous does not explain aggregate disparities that exist between Black and white offenders purchasing illegal …
The ecology of overdose mortality in Philadelphia
Modeling Urban Neighborhood Violence
The systemic model of crime illustrates how neighborhood social structure influences social networks needed for the regulation of crime. This study examines whether those structural influences are stable or variable across a distribution of neighborhoods on violent crime. Study data are derived from the National Neighborhood Crime Study, yielding crime and structural data on a total of 6,927 census tracts within 69 U.S. cities. Quantile regressio…
Drug markets, violence, and the need to incorporate the role of race
While race has proven to be a critical variable in the sociological understanding of multiple social outcomes, scholars have yet to fully appreciate the nature by which it shapes drug‐related violence. Empirical responses to the 1980s urban proliferation of illicit drugs generally relied on systemic explanations of drug market violence and how participants, by virtue of social positioning, are unable to use the criminal justice system to address …

Policing Urban Drug Markets
Permeability across a Metropolitan Area
The intrametropolitan relationship between municipality-level physical environment and crime changes appears to have been overlooked by crime and environment researchers. The current effort focuses on permeability; suggests dynamics whereby permeability affects changing municipality-level crime patterns across a metropolitan area; selects and operationalizes theoretically appropriate permeability indicators; and links permeability to unexpected c…
