Ihlanfeldt, Keith R. “Rail Transit and Neighborhood Crime: The Case of Atlanta, Georgia”. Southern Economic Journal 70.2(2003)273-294.JSTOR Journals. Web. 24 Feb, 2016.

This article talks about how the addition of new rail rod stations causes an influx of crime and violence on surrounding  neighborhoods.  The Railroads are used as easy transit to a new area where they commit crime, though this displacement caused by this also decreases the crime in the areas where these people were originally from. This article give incite on other’s points of view, and also explains how some people who used to live in crime free areas are now being plunged into a world of crime by urbanization. The weakest point of this whole paper is the fact that you never know if the research they did was skewed by some other means such as just random coincidence. This paper related to all the other reach I’ve done about safety and building of communities. One of the parts that brings up community is how the communities will band together and object to a new rail way being put in.
