SOCIAL DISORGANIZATION

Referring to the 2019 USA Today listing on US cities with the highest violent crime rates, identify a city that has experienced a significant increase in violent crime in the last 5 years. The USA Today listing can be found here and is posted on Blackboard under ‘course reading’: https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/02/28/crime-rate-cities-every-state-us-where-violence-rising/39117505/

Then, determine why crime has risen in that particular city. What has changed in the city along with the crime rates that might be relevant in explaining the rising crime?

Next, determine whether social disorganization theory can explain the increase in crime over time. Which factors emphasized by the social disorganization approach to understanding crime (i.e., poverty, heterogeneity, population turnover, etc.) are present in the city you’re studying (if any)? Which has increased in that city?
