SES-1203105Ryan KingSarah McGeeverSUNY, AlbanyAbstractDoctoral Dissertation Research: Neighborhood Crime and Property ValuesThe construction of new correctional facilities often faces opposition by potential neighboring communities. Two primary concerns are consistently cited as reasons for such opposition: fears of rising crime and declining property values in the neighborhood. However, few empirical studies have examined this important and timely issue. This project employs data on almost 10,000 census tracts from 91 U.S. cities to investigate the relationship between correctional facilities, crime rates, and property values.The project is grounded in social scientific theories regarding social disorganization and routine activities. It pursues three main empirical goals. First, longitudinal analyses will examine the relationship between the presence of a correctional facility, crime levels and property values over time to gauge the degree to which these patterns have changed. Second, cross-sectional analyses of neighborhoods, disaggregated by the level of socio-economic disadvantage, will assess the degree to which the type of neighborhood influences results. Finally, analyses will evaluate whether the type of correctional facility shapes the effects on crime and property values. The methodological approach includes several types of multivariate modeling, as well as propensity score matching. In addition to U.S. Census data (1990, 2000), the study relies on the National Neighborhood Crime Study and the Time Series Database available via Geolytics, Inc.Broader ImpactsFindings from this dissertation seek to inform our understanding of how the presence of correctional facilities impacts the surrounding communities. Results from this project may be of interest to urban and community planners, as well as the law enforcement community and the general public. In addition to policy impacts, this dissertation project will produce a novel, publicly available dataset containing crime statistics, property value and correctional facility variables at the census tract level for a number of large cities.

SES-1203105RYAN KINGSARAH MCGEEVERSUNY，ALBANYABSTRACTDOCTOCTORLAL论文研究：邻里犯罪和财产估值新惩教设施的建设通常面临潜在的邻近社区的反对。 始终将两个主要问题视为这种反对的原因：担心犯罪的恐惧和附近的财产价值下降。但是，很少有实证研究检查了这一重要及时的问题。 该项目采用了来自美国91个城市的近10,000次人口普查区的数据，以调查惩教设施，犯罪率和财产价值之间的关系。该项目基于有关社会混乱和常规活动的社会科学理论。 它追求三个主要的经验目标。首先，纵向分析将检查惩教设施，犯罪水平和财产价值的存在之间的关系，以评估这些模式的变化程度。其次，对社区的横断面分析，被社会经济劣势的水平分解，将评估邻里影响结果的程度。最后，分析将评估惩教设施的类型是否塑造对犯罪和财产价值的影响。 方法学方法包括几种类型的多元建模以及倾向分数匹配。 除了美国人口普查数据（1990，2000）外，该研究还依赖于国家邻里犯罪研究和通过Geolytics，Inc.Boader对本论文的影响的时间序列数据库的影响，旨在向我们了解我们对矫正设施的存在如何影响周围社区的理解。该项目的结果可能引起城市和社区规划师，执法界和公众的关注。 除了政策影响外，该论文项目还将生产出一个新颖的公开数据集，其中包含犯罪统计，财产价值和惩教设施变量在人口普查水平上的许多大城市。
