Neighborhood permeability and burglary rates

This paper explores the effects of permeability on neighborhood burglary rates in Norfolk, Virginia in 1987. It is hypothesized that variation in permeability to heavily traveled throughways will be linked to variation in neighborhood burglary rates. Permeability is found to account for a significant proportion of the variance in burglary rates when structural density, socioeconomic effects, and the influence of adjacent neighborhoods are controlled.
