Hyperdeprivation and Race -Specific Homicide, 1980--1990

Research on the nature of the urban underclass suggests that socioeconomic deprivation is multidimensional and involves more than just the personal experience of poverty. When negative characteristics like poverty and unemployment are concentrated geographically, it means that one is not only depriv...

520 |a Research on the nature of the urban underclass suggests that socioeconomic deprivation is multidimensional and involves more than just the personal experience of poverty. When negative characteristics like poverty and unemployment are concentrated geographically, it means that one is not only deprived of personal resources, but also deprived of contact with those who do have resources. Thus, when social disadvantage is concentrated, as it may be in underclass communities, this augments the effect of poverty, creating a situation of hyperdeprivation, by placing beyond reach those segments of mainstream society that are necessary for success. This dissertation extends this line of research on urban communities by examining the link between hyperdeprivation and crime. Specifically, a theoretical model is elaborated that links the ecological concentration of multiple disadvantages like poverty, unemployment, and family disruption with high rates of urban crime. The model is tested using race disaggregated U.S. Census data and FBI data on homicide arrest for 1980 and 1990. Cross-sectional models reveal strong associations between the concentration of both poverty and high school dropouts and black and white homicide arrest in 1980 and 1990. The concentration of female headed households also has a strong influence on rates of black arrest for both time periods. Likewise, the concentration of the unemployed increases white homicide in both time periods but only effects black homicide rates in 1990. Longitudinal models examine the association between changes in the hyperdeprivation measures and homicide between 1980 and 1990, and reveal that changes in poverty concentration have a positive effect on changes in black homicide, while changes in three out of four indicators of hyperdeprivation increase white homicide rates. Implications for criminological theory and research are discussed in a concluding section
