Association Between Structural Housing Repairs for Low-Income Homeowners and Neighborhood Crime

Abstract: IMPORTANCE The root causes of violent crime in Black urban neighborhoods are structural, including residential racial segregation and concentrated poverty. Previous work suggests that simple and scalable place-based environmental interventions can overcome the legacies of neighborhood disinvestment and have implications for health broadly and crime specifically. OBJECTIVE To assess whether structural repairs to the homes of low-income owners are associated with a reduction in nearby crime. DESIGN, SETTING, AND… Show more

“…Most CBPR policy partnerships have focused on environmental justice and occupational health [59]. Communities predominantly occupied by racial/ethnic minority groups are more likely to be socioeconomically disenfranchised with poor quality housing, lack of green spaces, high crime, and food deserts [59][60][61]. There are difficulties in moving evidence from the sphere of academia into policy due to the fundamental disconnect between researchers and policymakers [59].…”

By deploying place-based interventions, such as structural home repairs, to neighborhoods experiencing segregation and concentrated poverty, these targeted investments translated into decreases in assault and homicide ( 12 ).…”
