Harvard School Crime Rate and Neighborhood Desirability Criminology Discussion

 

Many new home owners examine the
crime rate in order to determine which neighborhoods will bring them a
good quality of life. Neighborhoods and cities with low crime rates
seem to be associated with higher desirability for prospective new
residents. To what degree are crime statistics an accurate measuring
rod for one’s quality of life? What
makes a neighborhood a “good neighborhood”? Is it all about crime
rate, or are there other factors one should consider when looking for a
new home? Explain.
