N2  - This study assesses the relationship between land use, measured as percent zoning designation per square kilometer in a census tract, and homicide counts in Portland, Oregon, while controlling for other neighborhood characteristics. Negative binomial models are implemented to account for the overdispersed homicide count indicator. <br><br>RESULTS suggest that some land use variables--specifically, mixed-use residential (positive association) and single-family residential (negative association)--have significant predictive value for homicide counts beyond neighborhood characteristics and socioeconomic variables deemed important by criminological theory and research.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
