Abstract:
|
This paper examines the relationship between 1999 and 2000 robberies and physical disorder, social disorder, and collective efficacy. The research was conducted in Wentworth, the highest violent and predatory crime district in Chicago, IL.
The findings revealed that physical disorder is not significantly related to robberies, however, both social disorder and collective efficacy are significant. Ethnographic data are used to understand how robbers commit robberies, and how their actions are associated with the theoretical claims of broken windows and collective efficacy theory. While social disorder is strongly associated with low crimes, high social disorder is insufficient for high robberies. Similarly, while high collective efficacy is strongly associated with low crimes, low collective is insufficient for high robberies. The ethnographic data explains this puzzle. |
