Question

Chicago School sociologists argued that social forces operating in urban areas created a crime-promoting environment; some areas were "natural areas" for crime.​
A. True
B. False

Answer 1

Answer:

true

Explanation:

The statement is true since the Chicago School of Criminology came up with a macro-sociological framework "social disorganization" theory, where crime and probability of criminal activities were to see higher than in other areas.

The "natural areas of crime" arose as a response to an unstable environment and bad living conditions. If the "social ecology" was damaged, social disorganization will result in higher crime rates.

Also, the lack of effective social control and social integration in social groups will profoundly favour crime rates.
