Social Disorganization

Research Questions
The research question is to test the previous sample against our research sampling of social disorganized and inequality within high-risk urban communities/neighborhoods in the states of Georgia and South Carolina, and thereby examine whether there is adequate variation that exists between those communities/neighborhoods that will supply useful data for this analysis. The following research questions will need to be addressed which are:
1) “What is the association between each of the neighborhoods social processes and their social structural physiognomies (e.g., racial and ethnic diversity, single family households and poverty level)” (Kingston, Huizinga, & Elliott, 2009, p. 57)? Basically, what is the comparative strength
of these structural predictors on the social processes?
2) What is the combined effect of communities’/neighborhood “social structure, social processes, and delinquent opportunity structures on rates of juvenile delinquency” (Kingston, Huizinga, & Elliott, 2009, p. 61)?
Background of the Problem
Social disorganization and inequality is a growing problem within urban communities where the majority of the population tends to be from one racial group or another, for example African Americans or Mexicans in general.
Researchers are very concern and have noticed that this issue seems to be a big concern and should not be ignored, because of all the violent crimes that tend to surround these communities or neighborhoods. But, the problem can be very difficult to isolate because there are so many factors that could give researcher many answers as to why this keeps happening, but it would not give us many real solutions. For example, some of the factors that can be viewed are: lack of informal social control, stemming from high residential mobility, population heterogeneity, concentrated poverty, and family dissolution (Sampson & Wilson, 1995,
pp.49-50).
This research intention is to address the problems of social disorganization and inequality in the different urban neighborhoods located in the state of Georgia and South Carolina, and to locate some pertinent answers as to why citizen of these areas lack communication and are unable to realize their common goals and interests which are to reduce violent crime or violence.
The other problem to address for this research is, to find out why are they so incapable of maintaining informal social control over local juveniles and their residential areas (Cullen & Agnew, 2006, pp. 12-13). Then by answering the above question/problems researchers will gain a better insight to why inequalities and social disorganization is such a major problem for the lower class communities verses the other concentric zone communities? By gaining additional data this research will be able to add to current information on the continuous study of social disorganization and inequality as long as the integrity is held in
place.
Rationale
In the public safety field there is always a need to understand how social disorganization and racial inequalities affects our community, but gaining this information can be very difficult, because of the continuous changes that are always happening within the neighborhood characteristic and the racial makeup of the community. This research needs to gain individual data of different racial groups to examine how the relationship between the neighborhood characteristics and rates of burglary and violent crimes really affect their social disorganization and inequalities. The research will use all the males within that community which will consist of these five groups and they are: Haitians, Mexicans, Asians, Puerto Ricans, and African Americans from the urban areas of Georgia and South Carolina. The research need to take a
