The Problem Of High Crime Rate

Improvement in security will also contribute to a safe environment. High schools should implement the use of metal detectors as well as random searches. Although, it may be tedious to remove all metal and coins from your pockets, it will ensure safety. This security measure can be specific to each school. An example being to make the checks random throughout the week or only require it for students to have a late arrival. Random searches can also be specified such as only searching lockers or classrooms. Motion sensored cameras can also be a very effective with safety. In many school’s cameras are only in the hallways and lunchroom, but what happens when violence occurs in a classroom? All evidence will be based off hearsay. This is not an effective way of assessing the incident considering there are 3 sides to every story. Adding motion cameras to classrooms will make evidence accurate. Not only will student-student altercations be recorded, but teacher-student altercations will be recorded. Security guards themselves should also be improved. Security guards should be posted in hallways upon children arrival, during passing periods, and upon school dismissal. Security guards should also be fit enough for the job. “The results indicated that utilization of multiple security measures reduced the likelihood of exposure to property

City Heights East is divided by many different ethnicities. There is 54.3% Hispanic, 20.9% Asian, 15% Black, 7.3% White, 2.2% mixed, and 0.3% other. With this data we can see that there is is range of different ethnicities and not one fully overrides other. This is a diverse community with some great cultures throughout. With this comes crime. With a total of about 30 assaults in the past year, there needs to be a sense of community rather than a sense of territory. Within this sections it will review the cost of living, the employment rates, the school’s, and the community organization. These are all important when looking at a specific crime and how to improve it within the community.

As a fellow Trojan living in the heart of a huge metropolitan city of Los Angeles, we are constantly bombarded by news of local crimes. Though sheltered in our little bubble of university life, we are still reminded of the dangers lurking in the shadows, perpetually threatening our sense of individual security. As a student, these fears most likely consist of physical safety such as being robbed, so an easy fix is just to not walk home alone and be more aware of the environment. If more support is needed, there are campus security,

Recent surveys have indicated that crime rate in the United States is on the rise. Crime in the U.S. is classified into property crime and violent crime. These criminal activities have a considerable impact on a state’s social and economic growth and development. Different states in the U.S. have developed different strategies to combat crime, which continues to transform in form and frequency. A number of policies, options, and approaches to crime control exist. This report explores some of the policies, options, and approaches that could be used by Florida to enhance crime control.

There has long been a debate over which, if any, are the most effective methods of crime control. Governments from bottom to top in our nation have poured over the issue with mixed results for as long as there has been a nation. Until very recently deterrence was completely based on fear of punishment. However, recent years have provided us with a more complete understanding of crime and its roots among the more desirable parts of our society, specifically the mind of a criminal. Through the study of psychology, specifically free will, determinism and social identity, we may find that situational crime prevention is a better means to deter crime in our nation.

Mass shootings have become an upcoming trend, all over the country. Shopping centers, schools, churches, and even movie theaters have seen the violent mass shootings lately. People ask how we can stop the violence, but most don’t know where to start.

The safety of the complex is the most crucial part as is the foundation of school shootings. The foundation for the problem could start by from adding security guards, improve student to counselor relationships, and adding metal detectors to the entrances. 5 tips to Improving School Safety and Security by Discovery Software stated that “Improved school safety and security doesn’t have to cost huge amounts of capital improvements that make our schools feel more like jail.” This belief is one that seems to retrogress because though everyone needs the security the whole doesn’t need the feeling of being stuck forever. But the feeling of being stuck in school doesn’t have to happen

This study spans from the 1980s into modern day. The conclusions of this study found that police presence increased 18.3 percent while crime rate increased by 24.3 percent in the 1980s. Into the 1990s, police presence increased 8.2 percent and crime decreased by 34.5 percent. In the 2000s, police presence decreased at 5.5 percent while crime decreased by 26.4 percent. “In summary, comparing trends in police presence based on the number of officers per 10,000 residents and changes in the crime rates over these three decade periods fails to support that the deployment of more officers has had no meaningful effect on the significant drop in crime in Florida over the past two decades” (Bales & Piquero, 2015, p.

One way this problem could be solved is by having more police patrols around the block, to help make the community to feel a little more safe. A second way is by having social groups formed by community members, this would help increase knowledge of the problem. By doing so, people will see that it has become an issue amongst many people in the community and that they want to change the rules themselves and stop the violence that is occurring from happening again. Another way could be is by protesting to the local police for better safety regulations in not just north philly but everywhere else in Philly. This way it would gather more people's attention besides north

Third to combat this horrendous type of crime is communication and unity. We need to unite as a community and really get involved with our neighbors. Communication within the community can do a lot to guard against these types of crimes. The unknown can be detrimental to society. If we don’t know what to look for, we will always be blindsided by an attacker. Sexual predators play on our complacent state of mind. People don’t want to believe that their neighbors could be sexual predators. Nice neighborhoods don’t dictate the kind of crimes that will occur within it. Upscale neighborhoods make the community feel safe and secure. It is this false sense of security that sexual predators look for within a community.

In the literature review there will be different discussions based on past and current research. The historic overview will discuss the history of campus crime and factors that have influenced student’s feelings of safety on campus from research dated from 1999 and back. The current research section will cover research from 2000 to today involving the topic of campus crime and factors that impact student’s perception of public safety. Routine Activity Theory and Social disorganization Theory will both be integrated as well as critiqued individually in order for us to show what each theory is about as well as how they may come together.

There has been many problems about safety on campus at Pittsburg State University, “In 2014 there were four rapes on campus, two in student housing, and two on campus property” (Pitt State). There were no other reports of rape, except for on campus according to pittstate.edu. There has also been counts of robbery, forcible fondling, assault, and more. There is not enough safety on campus, and that is why these offenses have happened. There are people that have night classes, and they don’t feel safe walking from their building to their car, or dorms. Even though there may be more costs to adding in more lights, panic buttons and police, it can save them from a lawsuit in the long run.

Lately Brevard College was named one of the safest colleges in America, but the real question is are we really safe at Brevard College? For a school that has a tuition of $38,000 and at least 800 students and the campus size of 120 acres of land, there is only a couple campus security guards strolling around this campus and strolling an off campus resident. Two years ago, there was a problem with some females getting stalked and almost assaulted on campus. Until this day, we have yet to find the suspects because the suspects have gotten away because of only a one security guard being on duty and that’s not the only reason the suspects got away, it’s because our security guards are not capable enough to catch the suspects. Even though this is a small college, me and my partners believe that Brevard College should invest in a campus police. I believe every college should have at least campus policies regardless of the size of the campus. Every since 2007 at the University of Virginia Tech, I think that’s when college campuses should have been heavy on security or campus police. The students on campus should be able to walk around knowing they are safe whether it’s in the daylight or nightfall. As a student of Brevard College who stays on campus, I wonder about my safety every day. One of the most important aspect parents look for when they send their child off to college is “Will my child be safe when l leave?”  Me and my fellow colleagues believe Brevard College should plan

The effects of crime on victim can have a mixed feeling about making a victim impact statement. They may want to tell the judge or parole hearing officer how the crime affected their life and yet they may be anxious because you don't know how to prepare an impact statement or you don't want to bring back bad memories by describing how the crime has hurt you. The victim impact statements may include descriptions of:
