An article in Atlantic Monthly magazine has kicked off a firestorm of controversy. Author Hanna Rosin ties the demolition of public housing projects to a rise in crime in the city of Memphis. Rosin’s critics say she uses circumstantial evidence to unfairly implicate former residents of public housing.

Guests: Hanna Rosin, author of "American Murder Mystery" in the July/August 2008 Atlantic Monthly, and Xavier de Souza Briggs, Associate Professor of Sociology and Urban Planning at MIT.
