Neighborhood permeability and burglary rates
Abstract
This paper explores the effects of permeability on neighborhood burglary rates in Norfolk, Virginia in 1987. It is hypothesized that variation in permeability to heavily traveled throughways will be linked to variation in neighborhood burglary rates. Permeability is found to account for a significant proportion of the variance in burglary rates when structural density, socioeconomic effects, and the influence of adjacent neighborhoods are controlled.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
