Prior studies find that neighbourhoods abutting gentrifying spaces are viewed as ideal for capital investments and thereby subjected to increased police attention. Yet the categorical operationalisation of gentrification in such work presents limitations, particularly given that it is a spatial process. This area of scholarship also warrants a theoretical explanation of the diffusion of urban redevelopment and disorder policing. We address these voids by integrating the literatures of urban studies and crime and deviance to theorise the linkage between nearby gentrification and disorder policing. Using negative binomial regression models to analyse three years of arrest records from the Washington, DC Metropolitan Police Department, we find that the occurrence of gentrification in nearby block groups is associated with increased order maintenance arrests in the average block group. This work demonstrates that the risk of disorder-related regulation extends beyond the bounds of high-value communities, further exposing socioeconomically marginalised groups to the risks of criminal justice contact.

接近中产阶级化和秩序维护警务：城市更新的扩散如何放大正式的社会控制


先前的研究发现，毗邻高档化空间的社区被认为是资本投资的理想选择，因此受到了警方更多的关注。然而，此类工作中中产阶级化的分类操作存在局限性，特别是考虑到它是一个空间过程。这一学术领域还需要对城市重建和治安混乱的扩散进行理论解释。我们通过整合城市研究、犯罪和越轨行为的文献来解决这些空白，以理论化附近的中产阶级化和治安混乱之间的联系。使用负二项式回归模型分析华盛顿特区警察局三年的逮捕记录，我们发现附近街区群中高档化的发生与平均街区群中维持秩序逮捕的增加有关。这项工作表明，与混乱相关的监管风险超出了高价值社区的范围，进一步使社会经济边缘群体面临刑事司法接触的风险。
