Abt Associates Senior Fellow Jill Khadduri writes about the relationship between rental housing assistance and crime in an opinion piece in Cityscape, A Journal of Policy Development and Research (Volume 15, Number 3, 2013).  In her commentary, Khadduri focuses on two topic areas: 1) crime as a dimension of the neighborhood quality of assisted housing and 2) the potential of assisted housing to help families or individuals with criminal background histories stabilize their lives.
