The spatial distribution Cause analysis of theft Crime rate based on GWR model
2011 International Conference on Multimedia Technology, 2011Co-Authors: Juan Lu, Guo-an TangAbstract:Based on the geographically weighted regression (GWR) model, carries a Cause analysis for the spatial distribution of theft Crime rate. There is a negative correlation between population density and theft Crime rate, but the correlation is not significant; the theft Crime rate has a positive correlation with road network and police intensity, and the correlation is significant in most streets; there are negative and positive correlation between theft Crime rate and average land price, but negative correlation is in most streets and the correlation is not significant. It shows that many social factors have some influence upon the spatial distribution of theft Crime rate, and the GWR model is indeed able to analysis the Cause of Crime rate spatial distribution.

immigration and Crime in an era of transformation a longitudinal analysis of homicides in san diego neighborhoods 1980 2000
Criminology, 2010Co-Authors: J Ramiro R Martinez, Jacob I Stowell, Matthew T LeeAbstract:Emerging research associated with the “immigration revitalization” perspective suggests that immigration has been labeled inaccurately as a Cause of Crime in contemporary society. In fact, Crime seems to be unexpectedly low in many communities that exhibit high levels of the following classic indicators of social disorganization: residential instability, ethnic heterogeneity, and immigration. But virtually all research conducted to date has been cross-sectional in nature and therefore unable to demonstrate how the relationship between immigration and Crime might covary over time. This limitation is significant, especially beCause current versions of social disorganization theory posit a dynamic relationship between structural factors and Crime that unfolds over time. The current study addresses this issue by exploring the effects of immigration on neighborhood-level homicide trends in the city of San Diego, California, using a combination of racially/ethnically disaggregated homicide victim data and community structural indicators collected for three decennial census periods. Consistent with the revitalization thesis, results show that the increased size of the foreign-born population reduces lethal violence over time. Specifically, we find that neighborhoods with a larger share of immigrants have fewer total, non-Latino White, and Latino homicide victims. More broadly, our findings suggest that social disorganization in heavily immigrant cities might be largely a function of economic deprivation rather than forms of “neighborhood” or “system” stability.
