Özet:
This dissertation analyzes the relationship between physical disorder and crime in Chicago. Relying on citizen complaints about disorder and police incident reports, Chapter 1 finds a significant relationship between abandoned buildings and crime. This relationship, however, is not found to be unidirectional, but rather, symptomatic of neighborhood decline. A difference-in-differences approach utilizing a government program to reduce housing abandonment and decay, however, suggests that reducing physical disorder may reduce criminal activity. Chapter 2 finds that spatial spillovers of both disorder and crime on crime are not only significant, but often larger than own-neighborhood impacts. These spillovers are divided into those coming from socioeconomically similar and different neighborhoods. The results suggest that while disadvantaged neighborhoods suffer the brunt of spatial spillovers, there are differences in magnitude due to socioeconomic differences that depend on the type of crime being committed. In Chapter 3, the use of first-order queen contiguity is challenged. Geographic neighbor relationships based on drive times on the real world road network provide a better theoretical basis for how spillovers should operate. The magnitude of the spillovers generated when modeled using drive time neighbors are significantly larger and suggest that spillovers spread further than previously theorized.
