Crime and deviance have many dimensions that should be considered, including the wider social and structural inequalities that contribute to deviant behavior, the immediate situations and contexts that lead individuals to commit deviant acts, and how both immediate social circles and wider society react to and label those who engage in deviance, influencing their future behavior.
Poverty and crime
This document discusses several theories on the relationship between poverty and crime: social disorganization theory proposes that neighborhoods with weak social ties, poverty, and family disruption have higher crime; strain theory suggests that stressors like unemployment can increase pressure and lead to crime. However, crime rates fell in the late 2000s despite high unemployment, undercutting these theories. Crime continued declining in the following decades even as poverty increased, calling the poverty-crime correlation into question. The election of the first black president may have provided hope and deterred criminal activity in black communities. In conclusion, while poverty and crime may be correlated, poverty does not always determine future crime rates.

This study examined the relationship between community service programs and crime rates across counties and regions in South Carolina. The researchers obtained crime, community service program, and socioeconomic data for 46 counties and 4 regions. They found moderate to significant positive correlations between the number of community service programs and crime rates for some regions - the Upstate and Midlands regions showed significant correlations, while the Lowcountry showed a low moderate correlation. The Peedee region showed no correlation. This suggests that community service programs may be a social factor related to criminal behavior. More research is needed on the multilevel factors influencing crime rates in different geographical areas.
2016 Citizen's Committee for Children of New York - Community Risk Ranking
This document summarizes a report from the Citizens' Committee for Children of New York that ranks New York City's 59 community districts based on their level of risk to child well-being. It analyzes data across six domains - economic security, housing, health, education, youth, and family/community - to determine where risks are most concentrated. The highest risk districts tend to be in upper Manhattan, the South Bronx, and central Brooklyn. It provides the overall risk ranking and profiles two example districts - Hunts Point in the Bronx, which ranks as highest risk, and Murray Hill/Stuyvesant in Manhattan, which ranks as the lowest risk.

This document summarizes three articles on issues related to gender, inequality, and the environment. The first article discusses how neglect and inequality have led to excess mortality of women globally. The second examines how gender inequality impacts environmental collective action groups, finding women have limited participation and an unequal distribution of costs and benefits. The third analyzes how economic and political crises in Africa exacerbate gender inequality and the spread of AIDS by increasing stress, violence, risky sexual behaviors, and women's lack of power to demand condom use.

Matthew Summy's presentation from America’s Sustainable Future: How U.S. Cities Are Making Energy Work, an invitational conference of public-private partnership efforts from U.S. cities pursuing innovative energy management and smart grid initiatives. The assembled leaders in industry, research and policy-making will explore the diverse energy strategies emerging in Philadelphia and across the United States.
“We’re really looking forward to both learning from the great examples set by other cities represented in the conference, and showing off the groundbreaking work happening right here in Philadelphia,” says Laurie Actman, Viridity Energy’s director of strategic partnerships and public policy.
“With smart ideas and smart policy, we should be able to build support for smart grid projects and microgrids at the federal, state and local level.”"Energy technology is changing at such a rapid pace, it's crucial to examine who's doing it right in smart grid and microgrid projects all around the country," says Eugenie Birch, Penn IUR co-director.
"With the right policy moves—which we'll be exploring at the conference—Philadelphia can be a national leader in energy innovation," noted Susan Wachter, Penn IUR co-director.

The report analyzes social exclusion in countries in the region since 1991 using a multidimensional approach. It develops a methodology to measure social exclusion based on deprivations across economic, social services, and participation dimensions. The report finds that individual characteristics like age, education level, employment status, and where one lives impact social exclusion status. Factors like governance, labor markets, values, and local context like location in a mono-company town also drive exclusion. The report concludes transition to a market economy left some behind and reforms have not always improved lives. Comprehensive policies are needed to address individual vulnerabilities and institutional drivers to break the social exclusion chain. UNDP can help generate and implement projectable regional ideas to promote social inclusion.

It develops a methodology to measure social exclusion based on deprivations across economic, social services, and participation dimensions. The report finds that individual characteristics like age, education level, employment status, and where people live impact social exclusion levels. Factors like governance, labor markets, values, and local context like location in a mono-company town also drive exclusion. The report concludes transition to a market economy left some behind and reforms have not always improved lives. It recommends a comprehensive, preventative approach targeting individual vulnerabilities and institutional drivers to break the social exclusion chain.
Suburban Poverty in the United States
Suburban poverty affects over 16.4 million people across the U.S. and is growing rapidly, significantly outpacing the growth rate of urban poverty over the last decade (64% vs. 29%). Experts suggest that the problem of suburban poverty is “the new normal.” While the basic needs of the poor in the suburbs are similar to those of the urban poor (e.g. education inequity, poor access to quality healthcare etc.), there are some critical systemic differences (e.g. limited transportation options, jurisdictional challenges etc.). These challenges are further exacerbated by the lack of awareness and understanding of the problem and
potential solutions.

Obama’s Policy Agenda: Implications for Black Communities and the Role of Phi...Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
The document summarizes Obama's policy agenda and its implications for communities of color. It discusses how the current recession has disproportionately impacted people of color and the need for policies to be racially sensitive using a framework of "targeted universalism." It then assesses the economic stimulus package, finding it does not adequately account for race in job projections or funding allocations. It argues philanthropy can help shape policies to ensure fair access to opportunities from the stimulus.Urbanization and Health: Oxymoron or Opportunity? - Megan Christensen
Urbanization is increasing globally, with over 50% of the world's population now living in urban areas. By 2050, 70% will live in cities. While urban settings increase access to services, rapid urban population growth in developing countries is outpacing infrastructure development and concentrating health risks. Urbanization can be a health hazard for vulnerable groups, leading to humanitarian crises if not properly managed. However, with strong community engagement, mapping vulnerable populations, developing local health systems, and focusing on sustainability, a urban health model could help address challenges and leverage opportunities of increased urbanization.
Transforming Communities: The Dynamics of Race, Class and Housing Opportunities
Transforming Communities: The Dynamics of Race, Class and Housing OpportunitiesKirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
The document discusses challenges related to housing and social justice, particularly in the context of the foreclosure crisis. It notes that housing is important for access to opportunity and wealth accumulation. However, policies and practices like redlining, discriminatory lending, and racial steering have historically disadvantaged communities of color by limiting housing choice and access. The foreclosure crisis exacerbated existing inequities, stripping wealth and destabilizing neighborhoods. The document calls for responses that address both immediate needs and systemic reform to reshape neighborhoods and housing policies in an equitable manner.Equity-Report_12-14_150ppi
The document provides an executive summary of a report on equity in the Metro Boston region. Some key findings from the report include:
- The Metro Boston region is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse, with the population aging and more residents being foreign-born.
- The region remains highly segregated, with over 60% of black/African American residents and roughly 60% of Latino residents needing to move to achieve complete integration with whites.
- Income inequality is high and growing in Metro Boston, with the richest fifth earning over 10 times the income of the poorest fifth. Black and Latino households also earn less than white households.
Economic Recovery Funding and the Future of Federal Policy
Economic Recovery Funding and the Future of Federal PolicyKirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
The document discusses opportunities for foundations to promote economic recovery in a just, transformative way that addresses racial disparities. It argues for a targeted universalism approach to policy that recognizes how different groups are situated and aims to reduce gaps between communities. The stimulus package is analyzed as an example, noting projections that benefits may not reach all racial groups equally and calling for race-sensitive design and accountability measures.Rural Livelihood Approaches by Dr Sandeep Pande.pptx
The document discusses various rural livelihood approaches (RLAs) and how they can inform policy and be applied in practice. It describes several RLAs - sustainable livelihoods approach, livelihood trajectories, common pool resources, graduation approach, rights-based approach, and livelihood resilience. These approaches look at factors like assets, vulnerability, trends, rights, and resilience. The document advocates that RLAs can provide guidance to policies by highlighting the need to address both causes of poverty and vulnerability as well as their symptoms. It also provides examples of how RLAs have been applied through case studies of livelihood assessments, results frameworks, theories of change, and integrating different approaches.

Ample research evidence establishes that conditions in severely depressed neighborhoods undermine both the quality of daily life and the long-term life chances of parents and children. Policymakers and practitioners working to improve well-being and economic mobility in poor neighborhoods generally agree on the need for integrated approaches.
Participate-Work-with-us-Policy-Brief
This document discusses principles for how development should happen after 2015 based on participatory research with people experiencing poverty in 29 countries. It calls for a post-2015 framework that recognizes the rights and priorities of those in extreme poverty and marginalization. It emphasizes that change must occur through more democratic and accountable relationships between citizens and governments. Sustainable change requires addressing the multiple and intersecting inequalities that characterize extreme poverty, through a holistic people-centered approach. The document recommends basing the post-2015 framework on rights and meaningful participation of the poorest in policymaking to improve accountability.
Online Mutual Aid Group Activity in the UK
1) There are differences in levels of online mutual aid group activity across local authorities in the UK, with wealthier areas generally having more groups and higher levels of engagement.
2) The strongest predictor of mutual aid group engagement is household income - there are more groups and members in richer local authorities. In contrast, more deprived local authorities have fewer groups and members.
3) Feelings of loneliness are associated with local authorities that have lower household incomes, higher COVID mortality rates, and less social trust - the areas most in need of support.

Planning for the Commonwealth’s Economic Rebound
Planning for the Commonwealth’s Economic Rebound Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
The document discusses strategies for building opportunity communities by connecting people to opportunities and remedying opportunity isolation. It argues that a crisis presents an opportunity for transformative change, including rethinking narratives around opportunity and redesigning institutions to ensure all people can participate. Specifically, it proposes adopting opportunity-based approaches to housing and development to connect marginalized groups with jobs, schools, services and civic life in high-opportunity areas through both in-place improvements and mobility programs.Social mix and its impact on access to housing for people who are homeless
Social mix policies aim to promote social cohesion by creating economically diverse neighborhoods. However, in practice social mix often reduces housing access for poor and disadvantaged groups. While social mix may reduce stigma, it can destroy community networks and isolate poor households. There is little evidence it creates more cohesion, and it is often used to block housing for the homeless. Overall, social mix concepts seem to decrease rather than increase options for those most in need of housing.
The Economic Recovery and Structural Racialization
The Economic Recovery and Structural RacializationKirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
The document discusses structural racialization and the need for racially sensitive economic policies. It argues that disparities facing communities of color indicate broader societal problems. The subprime lending crisis threatened the whole economy by first affecting marginalized groups. It calls for policies that recognize how people are differently situated and incentivize inclusion of people of color to make recovery fair, sustainable, and accountable. Targeted universalism aims to support those most in need while recognizing society's shared fate.The "Logan Together" Initiative
Logan Together is a long term, whole of community effort to create the best life opportunities for every child in Logan. Utilising a world-recognised Collective Impact approach, we will drive coordination and cooperation between community stakeholders, education, health and social service providers. We will harness the energy and commitment of Logan’s diverse agencies, organisations, schools, clubs, and community groups.e
Race-sensitive Policies through Targeted Universalism
Race-sensitive Policies through Targeted UniversalismKirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
The document discusses targeted universalism as an approach to policymaking that recognizes both universal goals of benefiting all groups as well as targeted approaches that address the specific needs of marginalized communities. It argues targeted universalism is needed because universal policies alone fail to account for how different groups are situated within inequitable social and economic systems. As an example, it analyzes how the GI Bill and New Deal policies, while universal, had unintended consequences and did not benefit Black communities equally due to systemic barriers. It advocates applying targeted universalism to the economic stimulus by including requirements for hiring local workers and partnering with community groups.Expanded Presentation | Civic Shift: Action-Learning Lab for Systematic Civic...

1. The document discusses the relationship between poverty, conflict, and their impacts on each other. It examines how poverty can contribute to the onset and duration of conflicts, and how conflicts can worsen poverty.
2. Research cited found that poor, marginalized groups were more likely to engage in conflict over scarce resources. Perceptions of fairness in land reform depended more on participation in decision-making than on the actual amount of land received.
3. Conflict can directly impact poverty through loss of assets, productivity and household composition, and indirectly by weakening institutions and trapping people in poverty. The impacts of conflict on poverty are often underestimated.
Michael Meehan
The document discusses challenges with financing energy efficiency projects. It notes that two key challenges are a lack of quality data and low consumer engagement. It describes different models for direct financing to consumers and indirect financing of larger projects. Open energy data initiatives could help address data issues and allow better assessment of risks. Improving consumer engagement on energy use would also help promote direct financing options.
Matt Kwatinetz
The document summarizes a paper that proposes a new method for commercial mortgage lenders to explicitly factor energy risk and building energy efficiency into mortgage underwriting. It finds that standard underwriting does not account for risks from volatile energy prices, which can significantly impact building cash flows. The authors develop a model to simulate cash flows under different energy price scenarios and incorporate these risks into loan valuations. The results show loan valuations are 8.5% lower when accounting for energy, with larger reductions for larger buildings and loans. The paper concludes this method can help lenders more accurately price loans based on location-specific energy risks and efficiency levels.

It finds that standard underwriting does not account for risks from volatile energy prices, which can significantly impact building cash flows. The authors develop a model to simulate cash flows under different energy price scenarios and incorporate these risks into loan valuations. The results show loan valuations are 8.5% lower when accounting for energy, with larger reductions for larger buildings and loans. The paper concludes this method can help lenders more accurately price loans based on location-specific energy risks and efficiency levels.
James Finlay: Top 10 EE Concept Missteps
This document summarizes the top 10 conceptual hurdles to greater investment in energy efficiency. It discusses issues such as how construction lending differs from lending on stabilized properties, the different risk cultures across real estate asset classes, the fallacy that if there is no market data the value is zero, focusing on low hanging fruit improvements over deep retrofits, timing efficiency upgrades with capital expenditure cycles, and only considering cost savings without other potential benefits. It also addresses issues like the simple payback fallacy of not including reversion, incentives needed for renewable energy similar to subsidies for fossil fuels, greater emotional impact of potential losses over gains, and how complex credit issues have been solved before through mechanisms like credit enhancement.

This document discusses the shift from Keynesian economics to neoliberalism in urban politics and policy in the United States and Britain between 1976-2000. It argues that neoliberalism undermined cities' governing capacity and launched a new trajectory of political development that proceeded through two logics: neoliberalization by default through events like financial crises, and neoliberalization by design through targeted policy changes imposed by national elites. It provides examples of neoliberalization by design in London Docklands and neoliberalization by default through financial collapse and ideological shifts in Philadelphia.

Human Capital-Centered Regionalism in Economic Development: A Case of Analyti...Penn Institute for Urban Research
This document discusses human capital-centered regional economic development and analyzes Philadelphia's biosciences sector as a case study. It outlines several analytical approaches used to understand regional occupational clusters and gaps, including occupational cluster analysis, industry/occupation cluster analysis, and gap analysis. These techniques help identify regional strengths and opportunities but require strong institutions to effectively translate analysis into coherent policy. The case of Philadelphia's early 2000s efforts shows how analytical results may be irrelevant without such institutions, due in part to challenges of regional governance and ambiguity around workforce development goals.The Bull & the Ballot Box: Art Museum Economic Strategies

From the Penn IUR and Penn GSE sponsored conference:
“Preparing Today’s Students for Tomorrow’s Jobs in Metropolitan America: The Policy, Practice and Research Issues"
May 25-26, 2011
Organized by Laura Perna, a professor in Penn GSE, and Susan Wachter, a professor in Penn’s Wharton School, “Preparing Today’s Students for Tomorrow’s Jobs” explores the most effective institutional and public-policy strategies to be sure high school and college students and adult learners have the knowledge and skills required for future employment.
“The conference addresses such critical questions as: How do we define success with regard to the role of education in preparing students for work?” Perna said. “How well are different educational providers preparing future workers? What is the role of public policy in improving connections between education and work?
“It seeks to improve our understanding of several fundamental dimensions of this issue through insights from federal, state and local policy leaders, college administrators and researchers.”
Guest speakers include Eduardo Ochoa, assistant secretary of the U.S. Department of Education; former Pennsylvania Gov. Edward Rendell; Lori Shorr, chief education officer to Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter; Charles Kolb from the Committee for Economic Development in Washington, D.C.; Claudia Neuhauser from the University of Minnesota; Bethany Krom from the Mayo Clinic; and Harry Holzer from Georgetown University.
“Much recent attention focuses on the need to improve high school graduation and college degree completion. But, relatively less attention has focused on whether graduates and degree recipients have the skills and education required by employers,” Perna said.
The event is sponsored by the Penn’s Pre-Doctoral Training Program in Interdisciplinary Methods for Field-Based Research in Education, with funding from the U.S. Department of Education’s Institute for Education Sciences in collaboration with Penn’s Institute for Urban Research.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.JavaLand 2024: Application Development Green Masterplan
