Tangentially related, but still worth checking out: the book "Gang Leader for a Day" [0] touches on this topic of how the university interacts (or doesn't) with its poorer neighbors. Highly recommend the read.

Perhaps most interesting is that despite the author literally spending thousands of hours with literal gang members, the only time he's truly afraid is when he's describing the police gang that's been shaking down drug dealers and ordinary residents of the public housing in which he does his research. https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/nation/2023/02/05/chicago-police-ronald-watts-exoneration-cases/10470598002/ https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/nation/2023/02/05/chi...
