Racial Residential Segregation, Social Isolation and Homicide

9320701 Krivo这是一项关于种族居住隔离、社会隔离和凶杀的研究。它将研究黑人和白人城市凶杀率在多大程度上是美国城市中高度种族居住隔离的结果。研究将评估两组假设：1)居住隔离的各种方面中，哪一个与中心城市特定种族的杀人模式有关。2)哪些具体因素将种族居住隔离与致命暴力发生率联系起来？主要数据来自美国联邦调查局（fbi）编制的1980年和1990年人口普查和凶杀事件档案，样本将包括每年至少有10万人口和5000名黑人的中心城市。这项研究将阐明在大多数美国城市中发现的高度种族住宅隔离是如何以及为什么与最严重的城市问题之一有关的：高凶杀率，特别是对非洲裔美国人来说。这项研究还将通过评估这些模式在多大程度上助长犯罪暴力，促进我们对城市黑人集中贫困和社会孤立的后果的理解。＊＊＊

9320701 Krivo This is a study of racial residential segregation, social isolation and homicide. It will examine the extent to which black and white urban homicide rates are a consequence of the high levels of racial residential segregation in American cities. Research will assess two sets of hypotheses: 1) Which of a variety of aspects of residential segregation are related to race-specific patterns of homicide in central cities. 2) What specific factors link racial residential segregation to rates of lethal violence. The primary data are from the 1980 and 1990 censuses of population and homicide incidence files compiled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the samples will consist of central cities with at least 100,000 population and 5,000 blacks for each year. %%% This research will illuminate how and why the high levels of racial residential segregation found in most American cities are related to one of the most serious urban problems: high homicide rates, especially for African-Americans. The study will also advance our understanding of the consequences of concentrated poverty and social isolation of urban blacks by assessing to what degree these pattern contribute to criminal violence. ***
