This repository contains the code and output from my BMIN5030 final project. In this project, I use the targets pipeline structure. The over-all flow of the analysis is contained within the "_targets.R" file, and sub-functions called from within this file are located within the "code" folder.
In this analysis, I explore the relationship between Drug Treatment Center operation and neighborhood crime in large U.S. cities over two decades, using geospatial methods, difference in difference models, and event study GLMMs.
In aggregate, I did not find evidence to suggest that there is a harmful or strongly protective effect of DTC operation on neighborhood violent crime rates, despite significant expansion of these facilities during the observation period.
