研究尚未考虑财产犯罪与隔离之间的关系以及警力对隔离与犯罪之间关联的影响。为了解决这些问题，本文探讨了1990年种族隔离与入室盗窃、盗窃和机动车盗窃的关系。结果表明，隔离是显着和积极的所有三个措施的财产犯罪。当警察力量的数据被引入到模型中，隔离犯罪系数显着衰减，两个呈现不显着，提供证据表明，隔离财产犯罪协会至少部分介导的警察力量。
Research has not yet considered the relationship between property crime and segregation and the influence of police strength on the association of segregation and crime. To address these issues, this article examines the association of racial segregation with burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft for 1990. The results reveal that segregation is significantly and positively associated with all three measures of property crime. When data on police strength are introduced into the models, segregation-crime coefficients are significantly attenuated, and two are rendered nonsignificant, providing evidence that the segregation-property crime association is at least partly mediated through police strength.
