A total of 352 cities in the following United States metropolitan areas were selected for this study: Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Las Vegas, Miami, Orange County, Orlando, Phoenix, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Silicon Valley (Santa Clara), and Tampa/St. Petersburg. Selection was based on the fact that these areas developed during a similar time period and followed comparable development trajectories. In particular, these 14 areas, known as the \"boomburbs\" for their dramatic, post-World War II population growth, all faced issues relating to the rapid growth of tract-style housing and the subsequent development of low density, urban sprawls.\r\nThe study combined place-level data obtained from the United States Census with crime data from the Uniform Crime Reports for five categories of Type I crimes: aggravated assaults, robberies, murders, burglaries, and motor vehicle thefts. The dataset contains a total of 247 variables pertaining to crime, economic resources, and race/ethnic composition.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR29202.v1", "title": "Crime in Boomburb Cities: 1970-2004 [United States]"}], "identifier": "2912", "issued": "2011-08-10T09:55:04", "keyword": ["aggravated assault", "auto theft", "burglary", "crime patterns", "crime rates", "economic conditions", "homicide", "income distribution", "metropolitan areas", "race", "racial integration", "racial segregation", "robbery", "trend analysis", "urban crime", "wealth"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2011-08-10T09:55:04", "programCode": ["011:060"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Justice", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "title": "Crime in Boomburb Cities: 1970-2004 [United States]"}
