Abstract
In this chapter, we discuss spatial aspects of crime and policing in the United States. We start by characterizing the co-evolution of violent crime, poverty, and race across cities over the past four decades. We then relate these changes to policing intensity and police practices across cities. We highlight the potential for increasing heterogeneity in how different groups interact with the police as well as important gaps in our knowledge about what these interactions look like. We conclude with a discussion of avenues for future research on the geography of crime and policing.
