"....Drawing on independent sets of linked data, we examine how the 
racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic structure of neighborhoods shapes 
perceptions of disorder above and beyond what people see in the streets.
Neighborhood racial stigma - Many Americans hold persistent beliefs 
linking blacks and other disadvantaged minority groups to social images, 
including crime, violence, disorder, welfare, and undesirability as 
neighbors. These beliefs are reinforced by the historical association of 
involuntary racial segregation with concentrated poverty--in turn linked 
to institutional disinvestments and neighborhood decline...." - from 
Sampson and Raudenbush's essay (see link below)
