  • Effect of Gang Injunctions on Crime: a Study of Los Angeles from 1988-2014
    Department of Criminology Working Paper No. 2018-3.0 Effect of Gang Injunctions on Crime: A Study of Los Angeles from 1988-2014 Greg Ridgeway Jeffrey Grogger Ruth Moyer John MacDonald This paper can be downloaded from the Penn Criminology Working Papers Collection: http://crim.upenn.edu Effect of Gang Injunctions on Crime: A Study of Los Angeles from 1988-2014 Greg Ridgeway Jeffrey Grogger Ruth Moyer John MacDonald Department of Criminology Harris School of Public Policy Department of Criminology Department of Criminology Department of Statistics University of Chicago University of Pennsylvania Department of Sociology University of Pennsylvania University of Pennsylvania Abstract Objective: Assess the effect of civil gang injunctions on crime. Methods: Data include crimes reported to the Los Angeles Police Department from 1988 to 2014 and the timing and geography of the safety zones that the injunctions create, from the first injunction in 1993 to the 46th injunction in 2013, the most recent during our study period. Because the courts activate the injunctions at different timepoints, we can compare the affected geography before and after the imposition of the injunction contrasted with comparison areas. We conduct separate analyses examining the average short-term impact and average long-term impact. The Rampart scandal and its investigation (1998-2000) caused the interruption of three injunctions creating a natural experiment. We use a series of difference-in-difference analyses to identify the effect of gang injunctions, including various methods for addressing spatial and temporal correlation. Results: Injunctions appear to reduce total crime by an estimated 5% in the short-term and as much as 18% in the long-term, with larger effects for assaults, 19% in the short-term and 35% in the long-term.

  • How Valuable Are Civil Liberties? Evidence from Gang Injunctions and Housing Prices in Southern California
    How Valuable are Civil Liberties? Evidence from Gang Injunctions and Housing Prices in Southern California Emily Owens Michelle D. Mioduszewski Christopher J. Bates August 20201 Abstract Place-based and proactive policing strategies can reduce crime. However, the broader net impacts of these policies on targeted communities has yet to be quantified, meaning there is little empirical evidence on if, or when, policing is socially beneficial. Using a spatial discontinuity in constraints on police actions created by civil gang injunctions and temporal variation in when injunctions are enacted, we find that aggressive policing can reduce, rather than increase, people’s desire to live in affected neighborhoods. Mover demographics suggest that homebuyers perceive injunction areas as safe places, but where negative police encounters are common. Dividing our sample by pre-injunction crime rates suggest that net willingness-to-pay to avoid aggressive police encounters falls as the possible expected benefit from crime reduction increases.

  • How Valuable Are Civil Liberties? Evidence from Gang Injunctions, Crime, and Housing Prices in Southern California
    How Valuable are Civil Liberties? Evidence from Gang Injunctions, Crime, and Housing Prices in Southern California Emily Owens1 Michelle D. Mioduszewski2 Christopher J. Bates2 February 2019 Abstract Despite the increased use of civil gang injunctions in California since the late 1980’s, little is known about their effectiveness on crime, and even less is known about their broader social impact on targeted and surrounding communities. This study assesses the impact of civil gang injunctions on crime and housing prices in the Southern California region, providing evidence on both the crime reducing benefits of these policies and the costs imposed on affected communities. We utilize a geographic regression discontinuity design and three datasets to answer this question: Zillow housing data, gang injunction attributes and shapefiles, and crime data from the Southern California Crime Study. Focusing on the sharp discontinuity of targeted police enforcement within the gang injunction boundaries, and temporal variation in when the injunctions were imposed, we find limited evidence suggesting that crimes within safety zones, consistent with existing research. In spite of the increase in safety, home values appear to fall discreetly at the borders of the injunction. We conclude that this reflects individual willingness- to-pay for the civil liberties affected by the injunction. The magnitude of this net decline, roughly 3% of home values between 2002 and 2015, casts doubt on the assertion that gang injunctions are a cost-effective way to reduce crime. 1 Department of Criminology, Law and Society and Department of Economics, University of California, Irvine, Irvine CA 92697.

  • Dispute Resolution and Deliberation and Racial Violence: a Profile of Karen Umemoto John Forester and Andy Love, Eds. Department
    Dispute Resolution and Deliberation and Racial Violence: A Profile of Karen Umemoto John Forester and Andy Love, Eds.* Department of City and Regional Planning Cornell University 2004 This work was more of a result of my life experience than any study. I grew up at the intersection of the Harbor freeway and the San Diego freeway, the two busiest freeways in Los Angeles county. At the time I was growing up, Watts was black, and Torrance was white, and I was right in the middle, in Gardena. I call it a buffer zone community at the intersection of the freeways, because freeways are like the railroad tracks that racially divided one group of people from another. It was along the freeway intersections that you found the most diversity of people, because that’s where black and white communities—at the time I was growing up—met, and Latinos and Asians could be found as the buffers between black and white communities. So every time you’d go under one of the freeway underpasses, you’d be in a different world. So I grew up code switching and seeing that people lead such different lives: people listen to such different music, the smells are different, the slang is different, the style of dress and the way that people soup up their cars—it’s so different. My own code switching within Gardena meant that I could just be a regular, all-American, ten year old Girl Scout kid and YMCA camp counselor, but the minute I walked onto the grounds of my grandmother’s church, my voice would go up an octave and my head lowered and it was, “Ah, yoroshiku,” (“nice to see you after all this time”) and all that.

  • Gang Injunctions and Abatement Injunctions
    K13081_cover 11/3/11 1:57 PM Page 1 C M Y CM MY CY CMY K CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND LAW O’Deane GANG GANG INJUNCTIONS AND ABATEMENT INJUNCTIONS AND Using Civil Remedies to ABATEMENT Curb Gang-Related Crimes As gang violence continues to rise across the country and the world, police departments, prosecutors, and community members are seeking new methods to reduce the spread of gang-related criminal activity. Civil gang injunctions have become a growing feature of crime control programs in several states across the nation. Gang Injunctions and Abatement: Using Civil Remedies to Curb Gang-Related Crimes examines the effectiveness of this strategy and explores the accompanying constitutional controversies related to freedom of speech, assembly, and other rights. Questions raised by this thought-provoking volume include: • What are the costs of gang violence to society? • Do civil remedies curb violence in the communities where they are implemented? • What factors make a given injunction or abatement more or less effective? • What legal and policy issues stand in the way of gang injunctions and abatement? Providing step-by-step instructions on how to establish a successful injunction and abatement program, the book presents comprehensive research on the theoretical basis for the strategy. It includes a legal and chronological progression of actual cases and their outcomes, describing weaknesses and successes in various programs. Supplying succinct guidelines from lessons learned, the book enables prosecutors, police agencies, and the public to take steps toward eradicating gang activities in their communities.
