Notes de l'éditeur
- “The ecological ranking of neighborhoods was used to group them according to the relative strength of their private, parochial, and public social orders. Individual indices for each of the social orders were computed and then added. The index of private order strength was a measure of two person heads of households used by the original researchers, the parochial order index was a scale of institutional activity (alpha=.75), and the public order index was a scale of neighborhood problems (alpha=.80). The relative ranking refers to how each of the neighborhoods ranked in relation to the others in the same group” (scholar journal).

- The presentation will cover different aspects of rational choice theory, do most people fear crimes, and criminal justice behavioral statistics. The text book chapter chosen is thirteen, which is title Choosing Crime in Everyday Life and elaborates on Routine Activity and Rational Choice Theories by Marcus Felson. Rational activities theories: The volume and distribution of predatory crimes will reduce risk theory, which states that victims’ activity impact the probability of crime. For example, staying home at night, rural and staying out of public places can reduce becoming a victim of a victimization crime such as burglary. The focus is on opportunity suggested a pragmatic approach to prevent crime. In chapter thirteen there is a chart presented by Eck’s routine activity such as place; manager, target; guardian, and handlers; offenders. “Terminology, offenders have handlers, usually people they know such as spouse, family members, neighbors, or clergy. As a result, the presence of a handler often produces a crime from occurring. Targets (or victims) have guardians. It might be that a person is a guardian over his or her own property; or when out late at night; it might be that friends in a group will provide mutual protection, thus discouraging a potential offenders attempt at a predatory crime. Finally, managers; places are those who are responsible for the proper functioning of a particular place” (Lilly, Cullen, & Ball, 2011). Do most people fear crimes such as burglary; robbery? I made a Radom selected survey of a total of fifteen people out of my personal contact book from my phone. One question asked and answered is what two particular crimes you mostly fear? The answers were filled in: Assault, burglary, robbery, rape, identity theft, and non above. All of the men took the survey chosen burglary and robbery, whereas the females survey takers chosen rape and burglary. A second question followed of explains why? The men explain they can get killed in the process. The female explained, the predator will be too strong; dominate and cannot fight back. Another question asked, how often do you use certain resource chosen to view crimes? Many of the answers from young individuals chosen once a month, middle age range chosen twice a week and older people chosen once a week or daily. Jerin, R. A., & Moriarty, L. J. (2010).

- 1). Do you map out your daily routine activities? Yes, I try to switch it up often because you never know who is watching you. I also pay close attention to my surroundings.2). Have you ever been an victim to a robbery, burglary, mugging; assault or theft? I have been a victim of burglary when I was eleven years old. I wanted to protect my mother by hitting the intruder over the head with a broom stick. My mother almost lost her life but she fault back. She adopted a new trend such as sleeping with the television on overnight. I guess the light comes in handy if an intruder breaks into your house.3). Do you feel more or less vulnerable to these crimes in your neighborhood, explain? I feel less vulnerable to these crimes in my neighborhood because I have older people as neighbors. They are always alert, nosey, and helpful if an incident occurs in our community. I still take precaution and keep a close eye on my surroundings, never let your guards down. When you do, you are most likely to become a victim of crime.
