Abstract: | Macrostructural research in the social disorganization tradition assumes neighborhood structure dictates individual behavior.
The current research explores the opposite perspective to determine whether individual attachment to the neighborhood influences
perceptions of neighborhood safety. Using the Chicago Metropolitan Area Survey, the results show that loners, persons wishing
to move, and renters perceive their neighborhoods as being less safe than attached residents. Implications for future research
are offered.
Data for this study were made available by the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research. |
