摘要

This paper offers a localized case study of the relationship between broken windows policing and gentrification. The paper leverages two unique data sets of arrests and building permits from 2018 against data from The Urban Displacement Project and The Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority to gauge policing’s connection to neighborhood change. Using hot spot analysis and spatial lag regression, the paper identifies local, tract-level pockets of arrests and gentrification in Inglewood, California and finds associations between development activity and arrests in Inglewood for 2018. Our findings suggest that cops, through broken windows policing, enable the gentrification of racialized and differently valued spaces and ultimately function in the interest of capital. We situate our research within the carceral geographies literature by highlighting policing’s intrinsic connection to racial capitalism and also provide historical context.
