Obama’s Urban Legacy
We examine the distribution of selected place-based urban assistance grants provided by the Obama administration to the 50 largest U.S. cities. Our analysis contributes to understanding Obama’s urban legacy by separating planning from implementation grants, distinguishing between policy domains, and acknowledging the limitations of local policy coordination. Facing staunch Congressional opposition to its urban agenda, administration officials enc…
Rethinking Empowerment
The legacy of the federal government’s Empowerment Zone initiative is contested. The evidence undergirding the initiative’s legacy, however, is based primarily on models that estimate national effects. We use an alternative evaluation strategy that places greater emphasis on local Empowerment Zones as distinct programs. Our findings show that several cities did produce improvements that likely can be attributed to the EZ initiative. The results, …
Collaborating to Reduce Poverty
The authors report on the findings of a national survey of city officials and executive directors of nonprofit organizations that was conducted by the National League of Cities in 1998 to gain a better understanding of the ways in which community-based organizations (CBOs) and city governments are working together to reduce poverty and revitalize neighborhoods. The findings are mixed. Although collaboration between city governments and CBOs is fa…

Federal Policymaking and the Poor
Do federal, state, and local governments differ in their responsiveness to the needs of the poorer citizens? Are policy outcomes different when federal officials have greater influence regarding the use of federal programme funds? To answer such questions, Michael Rich examines to what extent benefits of federal programmes actually reach needy people, focusing on the relationship between federal decision-making systems and the distributional impa…

Targeting Federal Grants
This article examines the degree to which federal community and economic development programs target federal assistance to the nation's neediest communities. Grant allocations to cities with populations of 50,000 or more were examined for six major federal urban programs during 1950–1986. Federal programs that include both needs-based eligibility and allocational features were found to achieve the highest levels of targeting. The analysis further…
Distributive Politics and the Allocation of Federal Grants
Understanding the dynamics of policy distribution requires an appreciation of federal grant programs that have achieved a prominent place in nearly all areas of domestic policy. The theoretical literature on distributive politics, however, focuses almost exclusively on a centralized, top-down view of policy distribution. By examining the role of presidents, legislators, and bureaucrats, scholars have ignored participants who have become key actor…
The Rich Get Richer
This article discusses how the Community Development Block grant targeting policy adopted in 1977 has changed to the disadvantage of needier communities as the result of continuing demographic changes, reflected in the 1980 census, and through expansion in the number of entitlement communities, many of them small, relatively well-off cities. We also present several options available to policymakers for altering the current block grant allocation …
Hitting The Target
The Effects of the Police On Crime
At the very least, Wilson and Boland and we agree on the complexity of the relationship between governmental actions and social effects. Thus we believe as they do that it is not an easy task to disentangle the effects of policing on crime. We do differ on analytic strategy. We believe that time-series analyses tell us more than cross-sectional analyses do about causal patterns
The Effects of the Police on Crime
This paper is a replication of the analysis undertaken in 1978 by James Q. Wilson and Barbara Boland. We use time-series data for nine cities for portions of the period 1948-1978 to test the effect of aggressive policing on the robbery rate. Contrary to Wilson and Boland, we do not find moving violations to be a useful indicator of police aggressiveness. We also conclude that using the arrest/offense ratio introduces artifactual negative correlat…
