This is a proposed study that is going to be specifically looking at the new town of\u00a0Tuen Mun in Hong Kong. This particular town has high crime rates compared to other urban towns in Hong Kong and\u00a0Ying (1996) wants to find out why. Ying decided to analyze this area for information about the type of environment it is in order to see if there is anything relating the abnormally high crime rates to how the town is set up. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5\">The literature review that Ying did found that there is more crime rates around areas that have a high amount of access to the public. Crime rates were also found to be correlated with things like \u00a0housing conditions, demographic stability and ethnic\/social status. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5\">In order to do this study, Ying proposed to hang out with a group juvenile delinquents and seeing what they do. The researcher seems to want to find one juvenile delinquent and get them to \u00a0snowball sample in order to get a few people to watch the behaviors of. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5\">Ying also hopes to interview these juvenile delinquents to see why they make the decision to commit crimes in certain areas. In addition to getting interview information from the juvenile delinquents, \u00a0Ying hopes to interview police officers and security guards to see what areas they believe are high crime and why. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5\">Ying has the proposed project to find out why the town of\u00a0Tuen Mun in Hong Kong has high crime rates as compared to other Hong Kong cities. The researcher has a few ideas from past research, saying that environmental factors are often an issue correlated with crime rates. To figure out the exact reason why crime is so high in this particular city, Ying will observe and interview juvenile delinquents. \u00a0Ying also proposes to interview security guards and police officers to get a full picture on the areas where there is an abundance of crime.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ying,\u00a0Crystal Loh Wai (1996).
