英文摘要:
In literatures, scholars used to discuss social disorganization and opportunity theory separately, at most, they combined relative variables into one simple research framework. However, the relationship between opportunity, social disorganization, collective efficacy, and mechanisms of the formation of crime variations across place were rarely discussed. This study investigates social organization and opportunity factors that influence the residential burglary rates of neighborhoods, and the role of collective efficacy in disorganization and opportunity context. This study further argues the influence of social disorganization on the residential burglary rates of neighborhoods is mediated by victimization opportunity. Using official secondary data from Social Economic Database of the Ministry of the Interior, from the government open data platform, and from Taipei City police department, this study constructs variables based on these data resources. The OLS models show that collective efficacy does not mediate the effects of poverty and residential instability on the crime rates of residential burglary, but it does moderate the effects of “living alone” on the crime rates of residential burglary. Interestingly, in high collective efficacy areas, the crime rates of residential burglary are positively related to living alone, while low areas are not. Finally, the effects of poverty and residential instability on the crime rates of residential burglary are mediated by living alone, which exposes a high risk of victimization.
