本文研究了住宅止赎和空置对暴力和财产犯罪的影响。为了克服混杂因素，差异中的差异研究设计应用到一个独特的数据集，包含地理编码的止赎和犯罪数据从宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡。结果表明，虽然止赎本身对犯罪没有影响，但一旦止赎房屋空置，暴力犯罪率就会增加约19%--这种影响会随着空置时间的延长而增加。我们发现微弱的证据表明，潜在的空置效应的财产犯罪，是低得多的幅度。
This paper examines the impact of residential foreclosures and vacancies on violent and property crime. To overcome confounding factors, a difference-in-difference research design is applied to a unique data set containing geocoded foreclosure and crime data from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Results indicate that while foreclosure alone has no effect on crime, violent crime rates increase by roughly 19% once the foreclosed home becomes vacant -an effect that increases with length of vacancy. We find weak evidence suggesting a potential vacancy effect for property crime that is much lower in magnitude.
