Assignment 2: Impact of Crime on Communities

If surveyed, nearly everyone would likely say they would like to live in a safe, low-crime neighborhood. Healthy neighborhoods often foster trust, social cohesion, and better physical and mental outcomes for residents. Unfortunately, some neighborhoods have high or increasing levels of crime that make these positive outcomes less likely. For this Assessment, you will select a community that has high or increasing levels of crime and determine what the current research literature says about the effects of the crime present on the community. Generally, you may find that crime can have wide-ranging effects, from housing values to psychological outcomes. Keep in mind as you examine the research, however, that effects of crime on communities are also influenced by local-specific and historic factors that may not translate to other communities. As a criminal justice professional, being able to analyze research articles and interpret the findings is an important skill that will allow you to make empirically-supported decisions on the job.

The Assessment:

Review 3 peer-reviewed articles that examine the impact of a particular crime(s) on a community. All three articles must use the same criminal offense as the point of analysis.

What were their research questions?

Provide an overview of the independent and dependent variables.

What were the effects of your selected crime on the community?

Discuss the findings and how they compare to the existing body of knowledge. (Look in the discussion section of the articles.)

What were the studies limitations and implications for policy and research?

Impact of genocide: Causes and Aftermath 		6
IMPACT OF GENOCIDE: CAUSES AND AFTERMATH
Introduction
Genocide is the most upsetting crime internationally. It bears no boundaries and all it seeks is anger oozing out, preying on a specific community, ethnic, racial or religious group. We will discuss genocide in different communities, and shall get the overview of this heinous crime.
What is genocide?
A Polish-born lawyer named Raphael Lemkin, who immigrated to the United States in 1941 after escaping the torture of the Holocaust, was listening to a radio broadcast by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill when he described the atrocities of World War II: "Entire districts are being wiped off." The German police forces are carrying out "thousands—literally thousands—of cold-blooded killings," he claimed. We are in the presence of an unnamed crime. At that point, Lemkin decided to identify the crime. He coined the word "genocide," which he defined as the annihilation of a country or an ethnic group. He said he coined the term by fusing the Latin cide (killing) with the Greek word genos (race, tribe). It is an act committed with the intention of destroying wholly or partly a nationality, any specific race, ethnicity, or religious group. Among the acts of genocide are: killing members of a specific group; mutating or harming members of any group; harming any group's members mentally; inflicting conditions on the group that are intended to lead to its complete or partial corporeal annihilation; imposing restrictions to prevent childbirth within the group; and forcing the children in the group to switch to another group. 
Research key questions
Assessing several research articles several questions popped up related to genocide in the community, some of them are as follows:-
· What are the governmental, historical, and societal circumstances in which genocides happen? 
· What are the psychological, cognitive, social, symbolic, and indirect effects of genocide?
· What are the legal and diplomatic narratives (rationale, authenticity, inefficacy, denunciation, inaction, and the worldwide society's response) accompanying genocide?
· How is genocide planned and executed? Who, what, and why?
· Which social categories—including those based on sexes, age, socioeconomic and professional background,
