Drugs and Crime in Public Housing, 1986-1989: Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Washington, DC
This study investigates rates of serious crime for selected
public housing developments in Washington, DC, Phoenix, Arizona, and
Los Angeles, California, for the years 1986 to 1989. Offense rates in
housing developments were compared to rates in nearby areas of private
housing as well as to city-wide rates. In addition, the extent of law
enforcement activity in housing developments as represented by arrests
was considered and compared to arrest levels in other areas. This
process allowed both intra-city and inter-city comparisons to be
made. Variables cover study site, origin of data, year of event,
offense codes, and location of event. Los Angeles files also include
police division.
