TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Low-income housing and crime: the influence of housing development and neighborhood characteristics JO - Crime and delinquency A1 - Tillyer, Marie Skubak A1 - Walter, Rebecca J. SP - 969 EP - 993 VL - 65 IS - 7 N2 - This study examines the distribution of crime across various types of low-income housing developments and estimates the main and interactive effects of housing development and neighborhood characteristics on crime. Negative binomial regression models were estimated to observe the influence of security and design features, neighborhood concentrated disadvantage, residential stability, and nearby nonresidential land use on crime at the housing developments. The findings suggest that low-income housing developments are not uniformly criminogenic, and both development characteristics and neighborhood conditions are relevant for understanding crime in low-income housing developments. Implications for prevention are discussed.
