abstract="This article investigates demographic and macroeconomic correlates of racially motivated anti-minority crime in New York City (1987-95). Event count models indicate that crimes directed against Asians, Latinos, and blacks are most frequent in predominantly white areas, particularly those that had experienced an in-migration of minorities. No relationship is found between rates of racially motivated crime and macroeconomic conditions, such as the rate of unemployment among non-Hispanic whites; nor does there appear to be an interaction between economic conditions and in-migration of minorities. These findings seem to parallel ethnographic accounts of &quot;defended&quot; white urban neighborhoods. The article concludes by discussing the empirical implications of this theoretical perspective as applied to prejudice-based crime in other contexts.<p />",
