Reproductive success in the anthropocene: A view through a One Health lens
Over the past century, the increasing human impact on the planet's natural systems has been directly linked to the growing concern over biodiversity loss, and ultimately, human health. Reproduction, a critical factor underpinning species sustainability, is a complex and energetically demanding process that follows similar mechanisms across species. Further, it is one of the first biological functions to be altered in the event of ecosystem stress…
Inheriting the Grade: Holc 'Redlining' Maps and Contemporary Neighborhood Crime
Communities and crime research often invokes historical housing policies to explain vast disparities in crime. However, these assertions are rarely tested. Using lending security maps from the government-sponsored Home Owner's Loan Corporation (HOLC), we examine the consequences for neighborhood crime of a notorious policy intervention in the housing market: the practice of 'redlining' that discouraged investment in Black, non-White, and poor are…
The Lynching Era and Contemporary Lethal Police Shootings in the South
The rate of police-involved killings in the U.S. greatly exceeds that of other industrialized nations and is highly racially disproportionate. Yet, we know relatively little about the antecedents of police violence, and even less about what explains the distribution of police killings across space. We ask whether there is a connection between contemporary police killings in the U.S. and the country's unique history of racial subjugation and viole…
The Political Context of the Percent Black-Neighborhood Violence Link: A Multilevel Analysis
A century of urban research has established that percentage black associates positively with violence at the neighborhood level. We extend traditional structural explanations for this association by drawing attention to the political contexts of cities that may influence the race-violence link. Drawing on insights from social movement and racial politics literatures, we contend that the relationship between percentage black and neighborhood viole…
Making or Breaking Neighborhoods: Public Social Control and the Political Economy of Urban Crime
Divergent Social Worlds: Neighborhood Crime and the Racial-Spatial Divide By Ruth D. Peterson and Lauren J. Krivo Russell Sage Foundation. 2010. 184 pages. $37.50 cloth, $24.95 paper
Among the most central questions in the study of neighborhood outcomes concerns the dramatically higher rates of crime, and especially violence, in minority versus White areas. What accounts for the unequal patterning of crime by race and ethnicity, where the violent crime rate in many minority neighborhoods is 2-5 times higher than in white ones? The predominant explanation, rooted in seminal work by Shaw and McKay (1942), links variation in cri…
Urban Revitalization and Seattle Crime, 1982−2000
This study examines the relationship between crime and processes of urban revitalization, or gentrification. Drawing on recent urban demography research, we hypothesize that gentrification progressed rapidly in many American cities over the last decade of the 20 th century, and that these changes had implications for area crime rates. Criminological theories hold competing hypotheses for the connections between gentrification and crime, and quant…
Defending Turf: Racial Demographics and Hate Crime Against Blacks and Whites
This study explores how racial composition, in-migration and community identity influence the distribution of antiblack and antiwhite hate crimes. Drawing on six years of Chicago Police Department reports, two decades of census data and community survey data from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods, the paper evaluates hypotheses derived from racial threat, macrostructural opportunity and defended community perspectives. Neg…
