Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: According to social disorganization theory, crime will flourish in areas with high residential mobility, low socioeconomic status, and high racial heterogeneity. This study provides a test for the basic social disorganization model as well as Sampson’s addition of family disruption for violent and property crime. It also considers the impact of crime in adjacent areas under the assumption that neighborhood forces do not operate within a vacuum. Using data from seventy-six neighborhoods bounded by cultural and historical lines in St. Louis, three analyses reveal measures of social disorganization differentially affect property and violent crime. Property crime is highest in areas with high mobility and high racial heterogeneity. Violent crime is highest in areas with high mobility, low socioeconomic status, high family disruption, and low crime rates in adjacent areas. These findings indicate a need for crime-specific models of social disorganization and further exploration of external crime effects.
