The Long Run Effects of De Jure Discrimination in the Credit Market: How Redlining Increased Crime
Abstract
Today in the United States, the welfare costs of crime are disproportionately borne by individuals living in predominately Black or Hispanic neighborhoods. Is there a historical cause behind these inequalities in crime? In working paper 1910, former PERC Graduate Student Fellow John Anders studies how Federal housing policies created in the wake of the Great Depression increased present-day crime levels in cities across the nation.
