SES 0002291PI: Karen Heimer, Thomas D StuckyThis project develops and tests a political resource theory of how city policies and practices affect crime rates. Political resource theories focus on how welfare policies result from various actors pursuing their interests, based on the resources available to them. By identifying actors and resources in cities, this study develops a theory of how city politics affects criminal opportunity and social disorganization, primarily through welfare programs and policing. The theory is applied to cities over 25,000 for the years 1981-96. It uses pooled cross-sectional time-series analyses to test hypotheses regarding both crime and poverty control efforts, as well as their effects on social disorganization, criminal opportunity and crime rates.

SES 0002291PI: Karen Heimer， Thomas D stucky这个项目开发并测试了城市政策和实践如何影响犯罪率的政治资源理论。政治资源理论关注的是福利政策是如何由各种行为者根据他们可获得的资源追求自己的利益而产生的。通过确定城市中的行动者和资源，本研究发展了一种城市政治如何影响犯罪机会和社会混乱的理论，主要是通过福利计划和警务。该理论适用于1981- 1996年间人口超过25000人的城市。它使用汇集的横截面时间序列分析来检验有关犯罪和贫困控制努力的假设，以及它们对社会混乱、犯罪机会和犯罪率的影响。
