Changes in crime surrounding an urban home renovation and rebuild programme

Abstract: Neighbourhood environments are a known social determinant of health. Vacant and abandoned buildings and lots and poor or hazardous housing conditions, combined with crime and violence, can affect residents’ health and wellbeing. Nationwide Children’s Hospital and its partners launched the Healthy Homes initiative in 2008, which sought to improve nearby residents’ health and wellbeing by rejuvenating vacant and abandoned properties and increasing homeownership in the South Side neighbourhood of Columbus, Ohio. … Show more

“… 26 , 27 Moreover, state-level analyses fail to identify within-state variability and cannot account for the impact from local initiatives, changes in built environment, economic trends, population characteristics, culture, and enforcement. 28 , 29 An alternative inductive approach is needed to identify smaller geographical units, such as counties, that show unexpected changes in firearm mortality rates and to explore whether these counties are characterized by differences in population sociodemographics, geography, economics, policy, or programming. 30 Investigating county-level variation may therefore shed new insights on firearm violence which would be lost by relying on deductive approaches alone.…”

“…In practice, however, states tend to have several types of laws in place at once, making it difficult to determine the impact of any single law . Moreover, state-level analyses fail to identify within-state variability and cannot account for the impact from local initiatives, changes in built environment, economic trends, population characteristics, culture, and enforcement . An alternative inductive approach is needed to identify smaller geographical units, such as counties, that show unexpected changes in firearm mortality rates and to explore whether these counties are characterized by differences in population sociodemographics, geography, economics, policy, or programming .…”

“…As a result, municipalities are unable to manage these vacant buildings which leads to significant economic losses. Vacant, abandoned, and unoccupied properties all contribute to increased crime rates, health hazards, and public safety risks such as collapsing building components and fires (Degli et al, 2022;Atamewan, 2020;Mallach, 2006). For example, a fire in a five-storey building in Johannesburg in September 2023 resulted in the deaths of over 70 people.…”
