“…Neighborhood perceptions of safety can serve as a proxy for certain neighborhood conditions such as crime, exposure to violence, and concentrated poverty (Drakulich, 2013;Ross & Mirofsky, 2001;Rassmussen, Aber, & Bhana, 2004; Thomas, Caldwell, Jagers, & Flay, 2016). Neighborhood safety has also been found to be negatively associated with health and well-being (Burdette, Wadden, Wadden, & Whitaker, 2006;Duncan, Johnson, Molnar, & Azrael, 2009;Zhang, Eamon, & Zhan, 2015), and positively associated with favorable perceptions of the neighborhood walking environment (Brown, Perkins, & Brown, 2004;Foster & Giles-Corti, 2008;Mason et al, 2013), aesthetic quality (Austin, Furr, & Spine, 2002;Kuo & Sullivan, 1998;Miles, 2008), and collective efficacy (Allik & Kearns, 2016;Pearson, Breetzke, & Ivory, 2015;Thomas, Caldwell, & Jagers, 2016).…”
