Document Summary
Chicago school: theorists who came up with it came from chicago. Ecology model and inspired by biological of plants and environments (changes in this system). Looked at the way people move in and out of an urban city (chicago). Zones zone 1 (best land, most expensive, centre of the city, commerce and industry); Zone 2- transitional (next to the business core. Don"t maintain or x any of the buildings. Religious ties); zone 3 - working class (working class, richer people); residential (more expensive rent for apartments, better than downtown, much better lighting than zone 3); zone. Highest rates of crime were in zone 2. Social controls are weakened or severed in this zone. Quality of life- increase rec centers, social services there. Criticisms: class bias assume classes are better. Assumes no crime exists when you move to the outside zones: discrimination if you place more police in one area, more arrests will be made in that area.
