Crime in Metropolitan America: Patterns and Trends across the Dynamic Southern California Landscape

Thu, Nov 20, 9:30 to 10:50am, Marriott, Sierra A, 5th Floor

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract

The papers in this session explore dynamic processes in the spatial distribution of crime across a sample of cities in the southern California region. These papers are part of a larger project funded by the National Institute of Justice that longitudinally explores crime in the southern California region in micro areas. These papers explore the changing dynamics in neighborhoods due to economic change, racial change, and the inflow of immigrants. They also explicitly account for the spatial impact of the extra-local environment and the consequences for changing crime rates.
