“…In London, spatial analyses of racially motivated incidents also reveal patterns generally consistent with a defended communities interpretation. Although definitions of racially motivated crimes typically are more inclusive in England, such crimes against minorities appear highest in London neighborhoods with majority white populations (Brimicombe, Ralphs, Sampson and Tsui 2001). Furthermore, Surgue (1996) illustrates how members of traditionally white working-class neighborhoods in Detroit (1940Detroit ( -1970 organized in various ways to keep blacks from moving into their territory.…”

This study explores how racial composition, in-migration and community identity influence the distribution of antiblack and antiwhite hate crimes. Drawing on six years of Chicago Police Department reports, two decades of census data and community survey data from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods, the paper evaluates hypotheses derived from racial threat, macrostructural opportunity and defended community perspectives. Negative binomial models controlling for spatial dependence reveal different patterns for antiblack and antiwhite hate crimes across Chicago communities. Consistent with a defended communities model, antiblack hate crimes are most common in homogenous white communities with strong community identities undergoing recent black in-migration. In contrast, antiwhite hate crimes are most numerous in communities where blacks and whites comprise near equal proportions, supporting macrostructural opportunity perspectives.

“…Proximité spatiale, distance raciale (suite note 9) Par ailleurs, se pose la question de la comparabilité des indicateurs économiques. Certains travaux utilisent le taux de chômage mensuel général (Green, Strolovitch et Wong, 1998), tandis que d'autres s'appuient sur des indices économiques, tel que l'index Ayres (Green, Glaser et Rich, 1998 ;Hepworth et West, 1988 ;Hovland et Sears, 1940), ou socioéconomiques, tels que l'Index of Local (or Multiple) Deprivation (Brimicombe et al, 2001 ;Iganski, 2008) ou le « désavantage concentré » (Grattet, 2009). Les résultats de Ryken Grattet et Paul Iganski montrent que la prise en compte de facteurs socioéconomiques débouche sur une corrélation avec l'occurrence des crimes racistes, alors que les enquêtes précédentes avaient écarté l'influence de facteurs économiques stricto sensu.…”

“…Enfin, l'une des originalités de notre base de données est de reposer sur des informations géographiques beaucoup plus précises que celles qui ont été utilisées par les collègues étasuniens et britanniques. En effet, l'équipe de D. P. Green utilise l'adresse du commissariat de police où les plaintes ont été déposées (Green, Strolovitch et Wong, 1998), tandis que celle de A. J. Brimicombe reprend les adresses des victimes (Brimicombe et al, 2001). Les autres ne précisent pas quelles adresses sont utilisées.…”

“…It is against the above background that interest has developed in applying research methods developed in human geography and neighbourhood studies. Brimicombe et al. (2001), for example, deployed statistical and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) mapping techniques to the study of racially motivated crimes in the London borough of Newham.…”

“…Whilst linkages between indicators of deprivation (unemployment, overcrowding, child poverty and lack of amenities) and experience of crime were acknowledged, the authors argue that this cannot provide a systematic explanation for the different victimization rates between ethnic groups. On the basis of a preliminary analysis of the data, it is concluded that racist incidents occur at significantly higher rates in neighbourhoods comprising ‘a large white majority and smaller groups of other ethnicities’ (Brimicombe et al. 2001, p. 293).…”

This paper aims to contribute to the relatively small body of literature on the minority ethnic experience in almost entirely white communities, by reporting the findings of qualitative research into the experiences of minority ethnic children living in the South Wales valleys. Twenty‐eight interviews were conducted with children and their parents/carers. Interviews with children also included sentence completion and card‐sorting tasks. The paper focuses on the views expressed about quality of life, sense of community, leisure activities, experience of racism and dealings with institutions. The children and adults revealed a complex picture, which challenges both optimistic accounts of ‘traditional’ communities and also the negativity of pressure group reports on racism in similar areas. There is considerable variety of experience, mediated by class and gender. Whilst racism is in many respects an ever‐present reality for these children, many of them find creative ways of responding to their situation. Several also spoke of their lives in the valleys in generally very positive terms. The paper concludes by reflecting on the potential implications of the research for policy and practice.
