Labeling Neighborhoods: Assessing the neighborhood level impact of vulnerable area designations on health, crime, and trust
Research project
The vulnerable area designation was created by the Swedish Police
Authority with the intention of alleviating some of the negative effects caused by segregation. However, there is little research on the impact that these designations have had on neighborhoods in the several years since their creation. We will assess the impact of the vulnerable area designations across three outcomes: Health, crime, and social cohesion.
