In 1619 self-government was recognized in Virginia. This establishment was called as house of burgesses which became the first representative assembly in the american colonies. House of Burgesses is a representative assembly in colonial virgina which was the first elective governing body in a British overseas possession. The grouping was one separation of the government recognized by Gov. Yeardley at Jamestown in July 30, 1619 and some comprised the governor himself and a committee, all chosen by the colonial administrator because each Virginia clearance was permitted to designate two Burgess, the original membership of the House of Burgesses was 22. The broadly held assembly like the British house of commons settled supplies and originated laws and the governor and council appreciated the right of revision and veto, as did the king and the house of lords at home. The assembly also assembled as a supreme court to evaluate the region courts. This arrangement persisted unchanged until the american revolution.
Both are correct its all about who is living there and where it is. In lower income places where people dont have alot of money they tend to turn to stealing for money/food. Crime is everywhere and it can tend to be worse when you have a bad neighborhood.
