摘要自2003年哈特曼和罗宾逊将驱逐确定为“隐藏的住房问题”以来，越来越多的研究对特定地区的驱逐过程进行了详细的实证分析。然而，很少有人系统地比较关于驱逐程序的法律的制度和体制背景。借鉴我们在四个城市的研究-巴尔的摩，马里兰州;达拉斯，得克萨斯州;洛杉矶，加州;和华盛顿，我们认为如何房东房客法院的法律的制度塑造房客和房东的驱逐过程。具体来说，我们借鉴实地考察和行政记录，从这四个城市，以确定程序和法律的背景下不同的地方，以及这些过程的方式，塑造驱逐的制度生活和其潜在的社会意义。虽然驱逐问题不再隐藏在住房文献中，但驱逐研究的爆炸性发展引入了一个比较分析问题。
ABSTRACT Since 2003, when Hartman and Robinson identified eviction as “the hidden housing problem,” a growing body of research has provided detailed, empirical analyses of the eviction process in specific locations. However, there has been little effort to systematically compare the legal regimes and institutional contexts governing eviction proceedings. Drawing on our research in four cities—Baltimore, Maryland; Dallas, Texas; Los Angeles, California; and Washington, DC—we consider how the legal regimes of landlord–tenant courts shape the eviction process for tenants and landlords. Specifically, we draw on fieldwork and administrative records from these four cities to identify how procedural and legal contexts differ by place, and the ways that these processes shape both eviction’s institutional life and its underlying social meanings. Although the problem of eviction is no longer hidden in the housing literature, the explosion of eviction research has introduced a comparative analysis problem.
