poverty in Chicago
Posted: Fri Oct 21, 2005 3:28 pm
Hello
I am doing a paper on a sociological analysis of poverty in Chicago. Because this is a Chicago-based message board I thought I might try to look for help here. What I have to do is use the functional and conflict theories to analyze the causes and results of poverty in a region according to residential segregation, criminal/police activity, employment, etc.
So far I have these websites:
http://thecha.org
http://chicagohousingauthority.net
and this: http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/17/1714000.html
If anyone here knows anything that you think would be helpful for my research or on this topic at all, I'd love suggestions.
Thank you very much!
Kevin
