Coming Home Again: Do Returning Parolees Affect Neighborhood Crime Rates?

Abstract:

What happens to neighborhoods when parolees return? While past research has frequently used cross-sectional data to show a relationship between parolees and crime rates, such a finding is unsurprising given that the highest crime areas provide the most offenders, the most arrestees, and then the most parolees returning. To gain purchase on the effect of parolees on neighborhood crime rates requires longitudinal data. We parse out this effect using fine-grained spatio-temporal data. We employ data from the city of Los Angeles to compare the effect of returning parolees on monthly crime rates in block groups. By using monthly crime and parolee data, we can better parse out this causal relationship. And by using block group data we are able to estimate this possible effect in small areas more closely approximating neighborhoods. We test whether an increase in the proportion of parolees in a block group leads to higher rates of violent and property crime in following months. We also test whether the types of parolees entering neighborhoods differentially affect the crime rate (based on the seriousness of the crimes they committed, and how frequently they have recidivated). We also test whether certain characteristics of the context in which these parolees enter may accentuate the problems caused by parolees (an already high crime rate, poverty, inequality, racial/ethnic heterogeneity).
