SuburbsWhat Shaw and McKay noticedThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.- Overlap between physical structural conditions and economic class- Overlap between economic class and racial/ethnic group- While segregation of the foreign born in the areas of lowest economic status persists, the nationality groups predominating change from decade to decade. Exceptional hostility levied toward black American. City Growth Patterns- Demolition of substandard housing – abandoned buildings- Increasing and decreasing populations –inability to get to know your neighbors- Segregation of population on economic basis- Relief- Median rentals- Occupation groups - Segregation of racial ethnic groupso Exceptional circumstances found for black Americans*Associated with these differences and with the more subtle variations in the attitudes and values which accompany them are found marked variations in child behavior (Delinquency). These are reflected in differential rates of delinquency. How can we explain rate of delinquency based on the information Shaw and McKay provided? What explains delinquency? Is it the people? Place?- Structurally placing delinquent people in an area, housing discrimination- Place matters – culture of the area is important as well as the culture of the people- Key: there is an overlap between all the variables previously discussed remains despite the constant changing of the population in terms of racial/ethnic origin. - Place produces a constant effect regardless of the individuals who inhabit it. - Collective Efficacy (CE): refers to the degree to which neighborhood residents share a mutual trust, sense of solidarity and ware willing to intervene when problems arise in the community. o Like self-efficacy, its about expectation and behavioro Helps clarify the dense network paradox: social networks foster the conditions under which collective efficacy may flourish, but they are not sufficient for the exercise of control. - Empirical Evidenceo CE found to reduce levels of violence, controlling for a wide range of structural and individual level factorso Evidence suggests CE may be a causal mechanism between structural disadvantage and outcomes such as violence.Spatial proximity: surrounding neighborhoods matter.
