It is part of a series of themed papers which report the findings from a collaborative project funded by the Home Office and managed by the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE). The project set out to strengthen and update the evidence base on the impact of residential design on a range of crime types – with a specific focus on housing developments acclaimed for their innovative design and award winning architecture. This research was commissioned by two agencies (Home Office and CABE) who were interested in updating the evidence base on the impact of residential design on crime and to ensure that future policy and guidance reflected the findings of a comprehensive and up to date study. The research itself was conducted by an independent consortium of academics with expertise in conducting research yet with no vested interest in the outcome of the study. Although this is an ideal scenario, recent budget cuts have limited the likelihood of agencies such as police, local authorities or Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) being in a position to outsource research. For this reason, this briefing note is designed to guide the reader through the task of conducting a case study. It looks at issues such as sample selection, data collection and analysis as well as problems and issues which may arise. It is hoped that practitioners can use this as a guide to conduct their own research and to inform the planning and development of residential areas to minimise crime risks.

Author: Bian, Xun Title: Neighborhood Tipping and Sorting Dynamics in Real Estate: Evidence from the Virginia Sex Offender Registry Summary: Given the potential risk of recidivism, recent real estate research has found that registered sex offenders impose external costs, which are capitalized into the value and liquidity of nearby residential real estate. Several studies have shown that registered sex offenders lower nearby residential home prices significantly, in addition to lengthening time on market. These negative externalities might have lower overall costs to society if they were concentrated, or clustered, in particular areas. We demonstrate that, in theory, individuals operating within the market will sort according to their preferences and incentives, resulting in segmentation of these two groups (i.e. sex offenders vs. general populace). We predict that over time, neighborhoods will "tip" one way or another as part of the market process, resulting in clustering of registered sex offenders and segregation of these two groups. Further, we test this prediction empirically and its implications for the real estate market using GIS and other statistical/econometric techniques, exploiting a data set from Virginia that includes more than a decade of real estate transactions and a unique data set of registered sex offenders provided by the Virginia State Police. This research may help real estate academics and practitioners understand residential sorting dynamics with respect to registered sex offenders as well as the implications for the real estate market more generally.
