Area 4 has both employed, high-income families and employed, low-income families. Because
land costs less, expensive houses continue to be built in low-income areas. The Centervale
Police Department reports an extremely high number of calls-for-service from citizens residing
in high-income housing in low-income neighborhoods, who report frequent incidents of
vandalism and other property crimes.
Here's What You Need To Do . . .
Review the details and prepare a 3–4-page report that discusses the criminal activity in these
areas. Compose your paper based on the following points:
Analyze and evaluate each area. Based on your knowledge of the explanations of crime, identify
and discuss key factors (for example, biological, environmental, and cultural) that may influence
criminal activity.
Select and apply the best criminological theory to explain the criminal activity for each area.
Identify and discuss each area's specific characteristics as they relate to the theory's specific
concepts and key terms. Be sure to include each tenet of the theory and explain how it
connects to the characteristics of the specific area.
Support your explanations with research gleaned from assigned readings, optional readings,
and additional credible academic sources.
Create a three-pronged plan to recommend that promotes crime reduction for each specific
area to present to the city's stakeholders. Compose a clear and concise theoretical argument
for your plan. Be sure to use the tenets of the selected theory to support each prong of your
plan.
Note: Be sure to organize your paper into clear and concise paragraphs. You should read the
grading rubric before starting your paper to ensure you cover all the material appropriately.
Use APA in-text citations to cite external sources that link to corresponding references on a
