"The Correlates of Community Anti-Drug Activism," Crime and Delinquency, 38
(October, 1992), 510-521
This article examines the distribution of drug problem across neighborhoods and the nature and extent of
organized community responses to them. It tests contradictory hypotheses about the effect that
neighborhood drug problems should  have on communities, and it reexamines past research on the social
and economic correlated of community activism. The results challenge the conventional wisdom, and
suggest that in the 1990s antidrug activism has taken new forms.
