DescriptionThis study investigated if a cultural effect is providing a protective element against crime and violence within predominately Hispanic neighborhoods compared with predominately African American neighborhoods in Camden. Results suggested that the census tracts with 70% or more Hispanics had lower rates of violence than the similarly situated African American census tracts even when socio-demographic risk factors were similar. Hispanic respondents described their neighborhoods in more positive terms and reported higher levels in perceptions of public safety. Collective efficacy and more responsive policing practices may be at work in the predominately Hispanic neighborhoods.
NoteThis poster was presented at the third annual Graduate Research and Creative Works Symposium while the author was a graduate student at Rutgers University-Camden.
