Social efficacy. Recent evidence from
Chicago points to the role of social efficacy,
which is “the willingness of local
residents to intervene for the common
good.” It depends on “mutual trust and
solidarity among neighbors” (Sampson,
Raudenbush, and Earls, 1997, page 919).
Neighborhoods that have a great deal of
social efficacy have less crime and disorder
than neighborhoods that have low
levels. Social efficacy—like disorganization
and social networks—is not a property
of individual people or places, but a
characteristic of groups of people.
