of violence but also experience qualitatively different types of violence, begging the question, How does the structure of a community influence the forms of deviant adaptation that emerge there?”
Social disorganization theory has provided the broadest framework for much of the research examining neighborhood factors in relation to variation in the quantity of crime. Social disorganization theory focuses on how neighborhood structural characteristics affect both levels of informal social control and cultural value systems that, in part, tolerate the use of violence. The cultural aspects embedded in social disorganization theory, have recently been extended to consider how adaptation to neighborhood structure may lead to an oppositional culture. Arguably, it is this aspect of social
disorganization theory that is most relevant to the study of neighborhood variation in the nature of crime. The presence of an oppositional culture in neighborhoods, as well as the structural factors that encourage such a culture, have been hypothesized to not only increase the likelihood of violence, but also to affect the nature of that violence. Violent crime in urban, disadvantaged neighborhood has been argued to be not only more common, but also qualitatively different from similar crimes occurring elsewhere.
