Kansas City has experienced the ebb and flow of social instability, sustained by the ravages of poverty, violence, and substance abuse, for many years. Issues plaguing not only the city’s neighborhoods, but also stealthily eroding the values of surrounding areas, negatively marking the city as an area to be avoided by businesses, job transferees, and potential homeowners. However, the solution for Kansas City is found in a combination of policies, collective attention and changing individual decision-making. The Commission on Violent Crime determined that the causes of homicide in Kansas City are the result of a confluence of housing, employment, and education policies dating back several generations. These policies have concentrated poverty and led to successively fewer assets and opportunities for advancement in the same geographic area that has historically been plagued by the greatest homicide rates. This confluence of community detriments is found primarily in the 64127 zip code. Details: Kansas City, MO: Commission on Violent Crime, The Honorable Kansas City, Missouri City Council, 2006. 160p.
