Concentric Zone Theory

Park and Burgess used Concentric Zone Theory to break up the city of Chicago into five zones. They used the theory to explain why crime occurs in each zone. Although this was created and applied to the city of Chicago, in this assignment, you will apply this theory to your city (you can use your city or a neighboring city).

Create a presentation of 5 to 7 slides in Microsoft PowerPoint and address the following:

Where is the crime occurring in your selected city? Include specific examples using crime mapping of your selected city, characteristics of housing within each zone, and types of crimes occurring.

How would you aim at reducing these incidents of crime? Include information and specific recommendations.

How does Concentric Zone Theory apply to your selected city?
