The Effects of Evictions on Crime
New York study builds on older studies which show a clearer causal connection between evictions and certain types of crimes. The New York report looks at two factors, social cohesion, economic connectedness, and shows that they decrease in upstate cities where evictions have been taking place. It doesn't draw a direct causal connection to crimes necessarily. But it basically says, well, we can infer because of those two data points that crime would probably increase.
