| Summary: | The relationship of residential segregation with neighborhood crime has been well established with many studies finding segregation was positively associated with neighborhood crime. Research has begun to explore the importance of neighborhood community for the relationship of segregation with crime, but few studies were able to incorporate explicit measures of social capital. The current study engages with this limitation by examining the relationship of segregation with violent crime in post-Katrina New Orleans controlling for neighborhood social capital (or what we term collective resources). Results suggest collective resources related to social trust and civic engagement can be protective against violent crime, but we find very limited evidence that such resources mediate the relationship of segregation with crime. |
