Notes
  • The intraurban distribution of crime, and attempts to explain its patterns, are becoming increasingly important topics for Urban Geographers. This study plots the rates of major types of crime for the city of San Bernardino. Variables which measure the socioeconomic status of census tracts are analyzed so as to classify neighborhoods within the city. The patterns of violent and general crime are compared to each other, and to the distribution of neighborhood types. Regression analysis is used to test the relationship between crime rates and various factors hypothesized to be associated with crime generation. Results agree with parts of previous studies done for much larger urban areas.
