Description
Summary:Two previously released data collections from ICPSR are combined in this dataset. The first is Characteristics of High and Low Crime Neighborhoods in Atlanta, 1980 by Stephanie Greenberg (ICPSR 7951). Information was obtained from 523 residents interviewed in six selected neighborhoods in Atlanta, Georgia. A research team from the Research Triangle Institute sampled and surveyed the residents. The second dataset is Crime Factors and Neighborhood Decline in Chicago, 1979 by Richard Taub of the National Opinion Research Center (ICPSR 7952). This collection contains 3,310 interviews of Chicago residents in eight selected neighborhoods. The Spelman data contain variables including residents' demographics and socioeconomic status, personal crime rates, property crime rates, neighborhood crime rates, and neighborhood characteristics. There are three pieces of information for each variable: variable reference numbers for both the Atlanta and Chicago datasets, the complete wording of the questions put to respondents of each survey, and the exact wording of the coding schemes adopted by the researcher
