Here's What Happened . . .
You have just been promoted to sergeant in the Community Policing Division of the Centervale
Police Department. Your first assignment is to examine the criminal behavior in your area and
work with local agencies to develop proactive policies to help reduce criminal activity and lower
the overall crime rate. Your jurisdiction covers many different areas; you know that a one-size-
fits-all approach will not work. You decide to break down your jurisdiction into smaller areas to
tackle them individually.
Area 1 is a low-income area that is often featured in the news for its high murder rate. This area
is a transient, high-rent district (for example, the housing is not expensive, but most houses are
rented, not owned, by occupants) populated with single-parent households. Most citizens are
unemployed, and the high dropout rate paints the school system as being one of the worst in
the region.
Area 2 is also a low-income area with a lot of property crime but with an overall lower crime
rate than that in Area 1. Many employed dual-parent households have purchased their homes
through government programs instead of opting to rent. Although the schools are better and
the dropout rate is relatively lower than that in Area 1, the dropout rate is still higher than the
national average.
Area 3 is culturally diverse and continually changes and grows every year. Although the overall
crime rate has risen slowly, unemployment is high, property crime is high, and violent crime is
high. Specifically, Area 3 has an unusually high murder rate.
