Problem-Oriented Policing in Public Housing: Final Report of the Jersey City Project
Controlling serious crime problems in public housing settings has been a principal concern for policy makers, researchers, and criminal justice practitioners for many years. Research shows that rates of violent crime are generally higher in urban public housing sites than other inner-city locations. Indeed, research using census tract- and block group-level data shows, after controlling for economic and housing characteristics, that urban public housing sites generate more index crimes of all types than other nearby neighborhoods (Brill and Associates, 1977; Roncek, Bell, and Francik, 1981; see also DeFrances and Smith, 1994) Similarly, Dunworth and Saiger (1993) found that housing sites in Phoenix, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C. produced significantly higher levels of violent and drug-related activity compared to nearby neighborhoods as well as city wide. Crime problems in many public housing sites across the United States have led federal, state. and local governments to implement a vast array of intervention programs to make public housing areas safer places to live. Many of these programs date back to the 1960s when public housing administrators realized that high-rise developments built in the late 1950s posed numerous security problems (Annan and Skogan, 1993). Since this time public housing sites across the United States have served as testing grounds for a broad range of crime prevention strategies.
