Schools, Neighborhoods, and Violence Crime

Neighborhoods, Schools, and Violence furthers the evolution of the merger of social disorganization theories and opportunity theories in explaining the crime potential of place, particularly in Prince George's County, Maryland. Author Caterina Roman cogently utilizes the criminal opportunity framework to examine the influence of schools on neighborhood variations in the rates of violence.

Caterina Gouvis Roman is Senior Research Associate in the Justice Policy Center at the Urban Institute.
