my neighborhood right now, my soccer field is very worn down and dangerous to young kids if they were to fall or hit a piece of equipment or to maybe trip on the garbage on the ground. I believe we should change that and fix our old soccer field and make it brand new and safe for young kids. This is one of the best ways my neighborhood can change to make a newer, safer outside environment. This will help to stop young kids or any kids in general getting hurt and they will have more fun and…

I never really thought of my neighborhood as a possible place for crime to occur, but after doing the safety assessment I found that my neighborhood would be a pretty perfect place to commit a crime. I have lived in the same place for majority of my life and have always just felt safe and protected.

In conclusion of social control and the article I did, I really didn`t agree with what they had to say about how youth and it depends on what neighborhood they lived in. Was the reason why they were on the way to doing a criminal act? Like if a article says that and a teen reads it they will believe what it says. But there some youth who are wise at the ages that come from the poverty neighborhoods but they have someone or people to keep them out of trouble. It’s just the society that just makes…

Neighborhood Comparison While the identity of people used to be assigned it is now something that you make yourself or select (Howard). I chose two neighborhoods that I believe would differ greatly in income levels and also would differ a little bit in race. I thought it would be extremely interesting if I was to observe a multitude of extreme differences in these two neighborhoods due to the fact that they are less than a mile apart from each other.

networks that are often unstable for members of society because primary networks are impersonal, temporary, and segmented. Also, these communities are now more tied to secondary forms of connection such as organizations being based on jobs rather than shared memories. On the other hand, saved communities are considered to be dense networks that are focused more on neighborhoods, kinship, and tightly bound relationships within a community setting.
