摘要

城市绿地(UGS)最近与公共安全联系在一起。然而,尽管犯罪学家拥有重要的理论工具和实证研究成果,但他们在很大程度上并没有参与有关这种关联的讨论。在本研究中,我们回顾了可用于解释 UGS 与犯罪之间联系的著名犯罪学观点。此外,我们还借鉴了之前的研究成果,从 UGS 是否会影响犯罪的问题延伸到更关键的问题,即何时会影响犯罪。我们以华盛顿特区的街区为样本,研究了 UGS 的两个测量指标--树冠覆盖率和非树冠植被覆盖率--与暴力犯罪和财产犯罪之间的关联。我们还评估了社会无序化的前因(贫困和房屋所有权)对 UGS 与犯罪之间关系的调节作用。我们的结果表明,即使在控制了一系列犯罪因素的情况下,两种类型的 UGS 都与较少的犯罪有关。树冠覆盖率的影响似乎具有犯罪的普遍性,而非树冠植被覆盖率的影响仅适用于暴力犯罪。不过,在贫困率高和住房拥有率低的社区,树冠的影响较弱。

Urban greenspace and neighborhood crime

Urban greenspace and neighborhood crime

Urban greenspace (UGS) has been recently linked to public safety. Criminologists, however, have been largely absent from the discussion about this association, despite having important theoretical tools and empirical findings to contribute. In the current study, we review the prominent criminological perspectives that may be used to explain the association between UGS and crime. Furthermore, we draw from prior work to extend beyond the question of whether UGS affects crime to the more crucial question of when it does. Using a sample of block groups in Washington, D.C., we examine the association between two measures of UGS—tree canopy coverage and noncanopy vegetation coverage—and violent and property crime. We also assess the moderating effects of antecedents to social disorganization (poverty and homeownership) on the association between UGS and crime. Our results suggest that both types of UGS are associated with fewer crimes, even while controlling for a range of criminogenic factors. The effects of tree canopy coverage appear to be crime general, while the effects of noncanopy vegetation coverage only apply to violent crime. The effects of tree canopy, however, are weaker in communities characterized by high levels of poverty and low levels of homeownership.
