Does gentrification significantly impact crime rates of
neighborhoods? In this exploration of the differential effects of
social disorganization on neighborhood homicide rates in Chicago,
IL, from 1970 to 1995, Tiffany Davis investigates whether
gentrification is a contributing cause to changes in homicide rates
among Chicago neighborhoods. Operating from a social
disorganization perspective, Davis begins by providing a racial and
urban history of Chicago, IL., exploring urban segregation,
immigration,neighborhood development, and gentrification. Using
this as a basis for her exploration, Davis analyzes the effects of
residential stability, racial heterogeneity, and economic
disadvantage for three main areas - the city of Chicago,
non-gentrifying neighborhoods and gentrifying neighborhoods. Movin'
On Up explores the process of gentrification in one city, over
time, to provide an insightful contribution to literature on social
stratification, gentrification, and crime.
