Question

Which model was used by social disorganization theorists for their research?

Answer 1

The social disorganization theory was known for linking crime rates with the ecological characteristics of the neighborhood basically stating that it is the location of the crime that can cause an influence. If someone is in a bad neighborhood, they are likely to get involved in illegal acts.

As it goes, young people from disadvantaged areas would be more inclined towards crime.

The correct answer is Option C. Concentric Zone Model.

As per this model, the theorists predicted that most cities would have five concentric zones - poor/disadvantaged areas would be near the center of the city, and more affluent, rich neighborhoods would be at the outskirts of a city. the aim being to describe how crime is distributed, the main argument being that its the neighborhoods, be it rich ones or poor ones that affect criminal behavior instead of race or ethnicity.
