Opinions And Perceptions Of Residents In New York City Public Housing. More Findings From Household Surveys In Map Communities And Non-Map Communities

Abstract

Surveys of New York City public housing residents suggest that changes in some public safety outcomes might be mediated by gains in community well-being, social cohesion, engagement with government, and citizen trust in the competence of government agencies and actors. As communities become more tightly connected and more supported, they may experience gains in public safety.
