“The ability of place-based risk factors to predict hate crime”
Security Journal (2023)
ABSTRACT
Hate crime has exhibited an alarming increase in many cities over the past few years. As a nation, the United States recorded 7759 in 2020, the highest number in 12 years according to the FBI. Researchers and police practitioners have long relied on “place-based” approaches to study and respond to crime, exploiting the strong and consistent concentration of crime within a small number of places. One tool that has proven utility directing place-based approaches is Risk Terrain Modeling (RTM). This study quantifies the degree to which hate crime is concentrated within place, and assesses whether micro-level risk factors identified by RTM, combined with mezzo-level neighborhood features, predict future hate crime. Results suggest these place-based tools can identify factors with a meaningful influence on the risk of hate crime.
