Crime is not equally distributed amongst cities and neighborhoods. In this course, we will examine how, where and why crime is unequally distributed. Particular attention will be focused on locations, such as public housing development, where crime is perceived to be heightened. Theories of social disorganization, collective efficacy and broken windows will be explored.

This courses focuses on five data collection techniques: participant observation, respondent interviewing, informant interviewing, systematic observation of naturally occurring behavior, and documents and archives.
