2. Social interaction and the spatial concentration of criminality

abstract

It has often been observed that there is substantial spatial variation in criminality, i.e. criminality clusters in neighborhoods. Differences in neighborhood characteristics are one possible reason, social interactions another. In this paper we use detailed data on the residential location of criminals to disentangle the effects of individual characteristics, neighborhood characteristics and social interaction on criminality. Our basic model is an individual binomial logit model for the probability of being a criminal which we use to extract neighborhood effects. In a second stage, we model neighborhood effects, where we use as explanatory variables physical and social neighborhood characteristics such as characteristics of the housing stock and the demographic composition. We also include the share of criminals to be able to measure a social interaction effect. Note that this approach takes into account unobserved neighborhood characteristics. Since these may affect the criminality rate we instrument for this variable in a two stage estimation procedure.

4. Social Interactions and Crime Revisited : An Investigation Using Individual Offender Data in Dutch Neighborhoods

abstract

Using data on the age, sex, ethnicity and criminal involvement of 14.3 million residents aged 10-89 residing in 4,007 neighborhoods in the Netherlands, this article tests if an individual’s criminal involvement is affected by the proportion of criminals living in their neighborhood of residence. We develop a binomial discrete choice model for criminal involvement and estimate it on individual data. We control for the endogeneity that may be related to the unobserved neighborhood characteristics and take into account possible biases that may result from sorting behavior. We find strongly significant social interaction effects and explore their implications for the presence of multiple equilibria and social multipliers
