Week 2 Homework

For this week's

assignment

, I want you to take what you have

learned about social structure theories, and

apply

it to

the

following cases.

We are going to compare and contrast two

municipalities with identical poverty rates of 23.5%

However,

they are at opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of overall

crime.

The areas for comparison are Weld County, Colorado,

and the

city of Cincinatti, Ohio.

Obviously, these two areas have

significantly different levels of population.

Using the theories

from Chapter 4 and 5, and reviewing the following links, attempt

to make a rational argument as to why the crime rates in these

tw

o areas are so divergent, even though they share similar

income disparities.

Does poverty always relate to higher crime

rates?

If not, what else does?

Make sure to take into account

social services, education, community, race and ethnic

issues.

Your an

alysis should be two pages in length.

Please use

the following links for your research and analysis.

You may

need to conduct your own independent research on this topic:
