Abstract
Abstract Research on anchor institutions and studentification largely neglects U.S. universities’ police, who often have legal arrest powers as well as firearms. Using mobile GIS methods, this paper investigates how police communications shape campus neighborhoods in two different U.S. universities: Georgia Institute of Technology and Georgia State University. Police communications through Clery Act notices amplify racist discourse about crime fears, but more so at the predominately white institution with non-local students. Notices can increase neighborhood stigma and alter student behaviors. The paper highlights how Clery notices may affect neighborhood property values through amplifying stigma, and the actions U.S. academics may take to shape police at their universities.
期刊介绍:
Planning Theory & Practice provides an international focus for the development of theory and practice in spatial planning and a forum to promote the policy dimensions of space and place. Published four times a year in conjunction with the Royal Town Planning Institute, London, it publishes original articles and review papers from both academics and practitioners with the aim of encouraging more effective, two-way communication between theory and practice. The Editors invite robustly researched papers which raise issues at the leading edge of planning theory and practice, and welcome papers on controversial subjects. Contributors in the early stages of their academic careers are encouraged, as are rejoinders to items previously published.
