  1. Spatial Aspects of Robbery, Burglary and Vehicle Theft 10-Year Change in Neighborhood Characteristics and Crime

  2. Components of Proposed Study • Research Site: Raleigh • Robbery, Burglary, and Auto Theft in 1993 and 2003 • Census Data (Social Attributes) • Tax Assessor Data (Land Parcel Uses) • Configuration of Traffic/Streets • Hot and ‘Cold’ Spot Analysis of 36 Cluster Areas

  3. Goals • To evaluate the extent to which various social characteristics of residents in and proximate to a neighborhood affect crime counts • To determine whether the street structure (configurations) have an independent effect on crime counts • To assess interaction effects between social and configurational aspects of neighborhood • To identify additional factors that might be accounting for hot and ‘cold’ crime spots

  4. Analysis • Models of Diffusion of Crime and other Attributes across Neighborhoods • Models of the Nested Structure of Neighborhoods (Hierarchical Linear Models) -- Face Blocks within Larger Neighborhood Contexts

  5. Hot and ‘Cold’ Spot Sub-Analysis in 36 Cluster Areas • Orthophotography • On-site observational study (using video-cameras, multiple time periods) • Observation of signs of territorial functioning, ‘broken windows’, etc. • Three Contexts: commercial, multi-family, detached housing
