Housing Projects and Crime: Testing a Proximity Hypothesis.
Roncek, Dennis W.; And Others
Social Problems, v29 n2 p151-66 Dec 1981

However, adjacency to public housing is a weak predictor of violent crime once the socioeconomic and housing characteristics of the adjacent blocks are taken into account. (Author/GC)
