Violent crimes in their 334 developments have risen over 31% since 2009 and the city needs over $15 billion to properly fix the buildings over the next 5 years (Smith, 2014).

Try to imagine being alone in the South Carolina woods, a quarter mile away from your home, with just a tent for shelter. You are given limited supplies and receive no food. You meet a family member at certain times during the day at a fence to receive your rations, strikingly similar to the conditions of a war prisoner. Nighttime comes and forked lightening streaks the sky, and soon enough a steady downpour begins and you are forced to huddle inside the tent to escape the thunderstorms. The storms cause a temperature drop and the thin material of the tent does nothing to combat this, and soon you are shivering all over. These were the conditions a teen was found in and had been forced to deal with for two days as punishment for taking a Pop-Tart

Burglary is more likely to occur in homes and neighborhoods that have fewer guardians. Burglaries do not occur as often in homes where more members of a family stay at home, acting as guardians. In recent years there has been an increase in burglaries due to lack of guardianship that is correlated to the increase of women in the workforce versus women being “house wives”. With no one home during the day, the house becomes a more suitable target. In better-established neighborhoods there is a higher likelihood of neighbors acting as guardians to help prevent property crimes. With that being said, better-established neighborhoods do not always have lower burglary rates. Burglars often choose homes by the attractiveness or the value in which the burglars associate with the physical appearance of a home. A neighborhood full of nice homes could potentially become a target because of the valuable items that are predicted to be inside the homes according to how valuable the house appears on the outside.
