New RTM Article: Food Deserts & Assaults

"Mapping Food Access and Related Risk Factors in Forecasting Social Disorder and Crime"

"The results of this study suggest that high-risk environments for aggravated assaults and the presence of abandoned properties are strongly associated with the distribution of food access. In addition, individuals who are going to bodegas to get food within food deserts are also increasing their risks of becoming victims of aggravated assault. As such, food policy must consider how to mitigate the negative effects of multiple layers of deprivation, including crime, to better eradicate food deserts."
