“Crime, Disorder and Decay in Chicago’s Latino Community.” Journal
of Ethnicity in Criminal Justice, 2004, 2 (no. 1-2), 7-26.
This paper utilizes the results of citywide surveys to examine trends in Chicago during the
1990 in the extent of crime, social disorder and physical decay. These trends depict a tale
of three cities, for trends in neighborhood problems differed dramatically for Whites, Blacks
and Latinos. All fared differently, and no group was "average." By the beginning of the new
century, Whites saw some improvement in neighborhood conditions, and Blacks
experienced major improvements, but conditions for Latinos actually worsened. Analysis
indicates that a combination of language and geographical concentration were among the
factors associated with worsening conditions. The paper concludes with the
recommendation that the city, the police department, and the community itself redouble
their efforts to address the problems facing Latinos in Chicago.
