“…Regarding empirical study, previous research demonstrated how the disorganization of communities and neighborhoods is associated with criminal offending and delinquency (Shaw & McKay, 1942;Sampson & Groves, 1989), violence (Sampson, Raudenbush, & Earls, 1997), and sexual offending (Braithwaite, 2015;Tewksbury, Mustaine, & Covington, 2010).
