Willisville Crime Case Study

Introduction

In the small town of Willisville, parents do not seem to watch their kids. The kids therefore find their ways of getting attention through delinquency. The police officer that patrols our town works only during the weekend, which allows unlawful things to transpire during the week. The lack of security is one out of several reasons that people do not wish to live in Willisville, which overall affects the economics of our community. The solution is simple. We should come together to raise money, so we can increase the security in our town. When the security in our town is increased, the lives of the citizens will become better.

Problem

Several years ago, Willisville was one of the cute small towns that were considered safe. People

• Drugs and alcohol tend to cause people around here to do dumb ideas, such as robbing someone.

• There is not a lot to do in the town, so people tend to cause trouble.

As these causes continue to pollute our town with crime, they have a branching effect on the town as a whole:

• Kids who are allowed to come and go as they please tend to have no respect for their parents, which means that later in life, they will never grow to respect themselves.

• With kids that roam around unsupervised, there is an increased risk of a child being abducted or assaulted, which will change the child’s and the parents lives forever.

• A parent not knowing where his or her child is can result in that kid hanging around the wrong crowd, which may cause them to become drug and/or alcohol abusers.

• Without the security of video footage or a policeman patrolling, it makes doing crime easy. This is due to the fact that the crime violators know that they will get away with what they have done, which is not the case in other places, so this logic may cause the violators, young or old, to go to jail or

It is a known fact that people crave attention, and when a child cannot receive positive attention, that child will get negative attention to fulfill their needs. The children who do not receive the attention they deserve tend to lash out at others in the workplace or at school. Willisville kids go to Trico school district, and one day when I was in junior high, a kid came to school and stabbed somebody. This was due to the fact that he had a grudge against some guy and lashed out against him for payback. He was mentally unstable, and his parents never really paid much attention to him.

• The kids and teens in Willisville are known for using troublemaking as a way to protest. This may teach these young adults that violence is the answer to solving problems. For example, when we first moved to Willisville, my dad told these kids not to bounce a ball on the side of the housing apartment. As result, we ended up having dog droppings wiped on our car once and egged twice. This is not the way for the future generations to react to situations.

Overall, the problem affects most of the people in town, which is around 500 people. Therefore, something has to be done to solve our
