Overview
This week we will focus on spatial analysis of mass incarceration in the United States.

On the other hand, we will explore how incarceration is disproportionately concentrated in disadvantaged, segregated minority neighborhoods. We will look into how public housing developments as a primary site of spatially clustered incarceration.
