Journal Article 2

"Crime and Juvenile Delinquency", written by Lawrence W. Sherman, was published by Springer Science and Business Media in September 2006. This scholarly article written by Lawrence Sherman analyzes criminal behavior and examines data collected from the Uniform Crime Reporting System and other sources. He also focuses on small neighborhoods within a large city. Baltimore, Maryland was the prime example within this article. I chose this article because I learned that location is an effective agent towards criminal activity committed by juveniles. Another fact that I learned is that simple characteristics such as: race, gender, and social class are an issue to juveniles because of the neighborhood they live in, due to their poor surroundings.
