Description

My project looks at the question: How can concentrated disadvantage be associated with the frequency of 911 calls for crime, guns, and related incidents across a variety of Boston neighborhoods between 2017 and 2019? There's a history of research, many of which include the broken windows theory, suggesting there is association with disorder and perception of crime, influencing an increase in such disorder and crime. Disordered living conditions have always been present in any city or well populated area, but does living in these areas impact a residents future. My focus in this study provides a similar, but diving a little deeper into how those disorders and areas involving crime can have a connection to the residents living in and around those areas, specifically in the city of Boston and using data from the 911 calls in Boston.
