Memphis Tennessee Case Study

Memphis is notoriously known for its shocking poverty rates, which are higher than the poverty rates in Shelby County for every category (2015 Memphis Poverty Fact Sheet), and that is not a good thing. Memphis is also known for its high unemployment rates and its low availability of a skilled workforce (Does Memphis Have a Fighting Chance), and that is not great, either. Finally, it is well known that Memphis has one of the highest crime rates in the country (Memphis TN: Crime Data and Crime Rates), and that just takes the cake. While it is common to focus on these negative aspects about Memphis, it is not a complete description of this multifaceted city.

Being that Baltimore is segregated, a study from Harvard shows that "Baltimore is the worst large city in the country when measure by a child's chances of escaping poverty" (qt. "How Racism"). This can increase the number of crimes that might happen in the future; In the past year the amount of crimes in Baltimore based on a 100,000 population was 600 robberies, 37.4 rapes, and so far 131 homicides just this year.

This story touched the hearts of the entire community. She left behind a one year old little boy. From what friends and family states, she was a fighter and strived to continue to go to school and work after having a child at such a young age. She was a student at Booker T Washington High School, which is located in one of Memphis’s hardcore neighborhoods. These murders not only affect the relatives, but the victim’s peers as well. Kids fear for their life in some instances, feeling as if they will become the next victim. This also affects how they participate in class activities. I pray that this epidemic becomes better before it gets worst because I too have two sons that I worry about daily living in Memphis,

Southwest Florida is different from New York City in almost every aspect we are an area of smaller cities. For example, the population of New York City is estimated to be 8,550,405. I live in Naples, Florida and the population of Collier County is around 339,642. The difference in the population alone shifts how law enforcement is able to approach policing.

Small towns are often overlooked and are known as a “thing in the past,” but the history behind these small towns has brought us to where we are today.
