Social disorganization theories contend that crime results from a breakdown of social networks and regulatory processes associated with maintaining order. Inherent in both the traditional and more contemporary reformulations of this theory is that the relationships between social conditions, regulatory processes and crime are temporal and reciprocal in the sense that these relationships unfold over time and influence each other to create a spiral of decline. Yet empirical studies concerned with exploring these relationships rely almost exclusively on cross-sectional data or only consider changes over two time points as the unavailability of longitudinal data on community processes makes it difficult to test the central assumptions in the social disorganization model. In this paper we bring together three waves of survey and census data and ten years of crime incident data to examine the reciprocal relationships between community structure, neighbor networks, informal social control norms, actual informal social control behaviors and their independent and/or combined impact on violent, property and drug crime. We find that neighborhoods with lower expectations for action and dense social relationships experience higher levels of drug crime at the next time point yet we find no evidence that these processes have a similar impact on property crime or violent crime.
