“…Indeed, recent research by the Rutgers Center on Law, Inequality and Metropolitan Equity (CLiME) provides evidence of the increasing vulnerability for Newark residents. According to the CLiME Displacement Risk Indicators Matrix, an assessment tool based on vulnerability (stress indicators on households, rent burden, poverty rate), market dynamics (rising rents, decreased affordability, poverty, new construction), and population, Newark is in the midst of an affordable housing crisis, with the highest rate of renters in the nation, declining rates of homeownership, and a majority of residents facing rent burden or mortgage burden (Troutt 2017). The report cites supply factors that reduced the numbers of affordable units and discouraged private and nonprofit development of affordable housing.…”

Gentrification research focuses on timing and variation; how the racial makeup of cities and neighborhoods influences its extent; and the policies that foster or combat it. Most examines places with continuing or recent gentrification and majority-White leadership, such as New York City and San Francisco. We build on this by analyzing a majority-Black city where fear of gentrification is increasing, but gentrification is not widespread. To analyze Newark, NJ, a city with longstanding Black leadership, we adapt widely used measures to show that gentrification started but stalled during the 2000s. We examine whether policies explain this, and whether the racial politics of the city's majority-Black population and leadership play a role. Our findings suggest that mayoral administrations took similar, growth-driven approaches, except that the current mayor is the first to place “fighting gentrification” onto the agenda. We end by considering how the politics of race shape the politics of gentrification.

Trapped in Tragedies: Childhood Trauma, Spatial Inequality and Law

Each year, psychological trauma arising from community and domestic violence, abuse, and neglect brings profound psychological, physiological, and academic harm to millions of American children, disproportionately poor children of color. This Article represents the first comprehensive legal analysis of the causes of and remedies for a crisis that can have lifelong and epigenetic consequences. Using civil rights and local government law, this Article argues that children's reactions to complex trauma represent the natural symptomatology of severe structural inequality-legally sanctioned environments of isolated, segregated poverty. The sources of psychological trauma may be largely environmental, but the traumatic environments themselves are caused by spatial inequality. This Article sets forth a theory of structural inequality that demonstrates the importance of place-based differences in institutional functioning and the role of such disparities in producing the neurobiological, psychological, and behavioral outcomes comprehensively described in the literature from those disciplines (including . As always, I thank my family for their patient support. All mistakes are mine. MARQUETTE LAW REVIEW[101:601the results of an original study of Newark, New Jersey school children). International analogies show how similarly human beings process traumatic events. This alternative legal analysis of child trauma compels a different remedial approach to both intervention and prevention. It argues that interventions like special education reform are necessary but problematic because they risk pathologizing the African American poor and exhausting institutional capacity. Instead, it provides a framework for prevention focused upon increasing mobility options and reforming local institutions.
