In the early 1990s, Washington, D.C., was known as the "murder capital",[11] experiencing 474 homicides in 1990.[12] The elevated crime levels were associated with the introduction of crack cocaine during the late 1980s and early 1990s.

I am writing you this paper, in regards to agree with some of the material you have provided in your detailed articles, both published by The Southern Illinoisan. On August 21 and 24, 2016, thesouthern.com published “Violence Creates Conundrum” and “Gun Violence spikes in Carbondale.” I know that I will never speak to neither one of you directly, but I would like to address some of the material included in your articles.

When he returned to the US, he’d all but forgotten what it was like to have running water, and adjustable temperature in the home. He also had no news of the US, so he found it both dismaying and compelling to hear about the rampant violence in some parts of the US, most especially in Chicago, Illinois. As a result, Dr. Slutkin began researching the violence problem in the same way that he tracked infectious diseases in those other countries, and he found that the trajectories were the same.…

As I reviewed literature already done by scholars, I came across a scholarly pair by the names of Jennifer Castro and Bart Landry as well as a handful of other authors who had formerly touched on different pieces of my research question.

Neighborhood Violence can range from Drive by shootings, to neighborhood gang fights. In Castro’s…
