The Neighborhood Crime Map. Eating Too Much Candy Leads to Life of Crime. October 7, 2009 at 4:29 pm. Clearly, there must be other factors at work. So the researchers looked at the data again to control for others factors, like parental permissiveness, urban or rural living, economic status, and more, but the results were surprisingly constant: Eating a lot of candy as a child led to higher rates of committing violent crime as an adult regardless of other factors. So what does this mean to you? 8230;] Al...

https://neighborhoodcrimemap.wordpress.com/2009/10/28/halloween-safety-myths

The Neighborhood Crime Map. October 28, 2009 at 10:00 pm. For good reason, Halloween strikes fear into the hearts of parents everywhere.

Which is, pretty much, the exact opposite of what we try and teach them the other 364 days of the year. There was a case in 1974. In general, most people are afraid of sex ...

The Neighborhood Crime Map. Domestic Violence Statistics Not Low Enough. October 26, 2009 at 11:00 pm. To make things worse, the reach of domestic violence goes beyond the immediate victim.

Don’t Be a Bystander | The Neighborhood Crime Map

https://neighborhoodcrimemap.wordpress.com/2009/11/02/don’t-be-a-bystander

The Neighborhood Crime Map. Don’t Be a Bystander. November 2, 2009 at 10:00 pm. Five suspects have now been charged in the rape and beating of the girl. But what is more astounding is that roughly 12-20 people (according to accounts) witnessed the gang rape over the 2-hour span and did absolutely nothing about it. In fact, some took pictures with their cell phones. Some psychologists ascribe the behavior of the onlookers to The Bystander Effect. That makes us all sound like mindless animals, doesn’t it?

The Neighborhood Crime Map. Rooting Out Sex Offenders, Taking Responsibility For Our Own Neighborhoods. September 8, 2009 at 7:00 am. Although the story of Jaycee Lee Duggard has put local law enforcement under the spotlight, and the local police chief has admitted errors, there is one group that hasn’t received much criticism at all for its mishandling of the situation: the neighbors. Maybe it was for fear of wrongly accusing an innocent man, or maybe they just didn’t want to get involved. One of the le...

The Neighborhood Crime Map. Don’t Hesitate, Always Call Police. George Feder, former jewel thief turned crime prevention advocate. The burglary described below actually happened as described. But it could’ve been prevented. Feeling the wealth around me in the deep plush carpeting and beautifully colored wallpaper, I knew there was a great “score” on this floor, but where? Which condo do I “work”? Because end dwellings are larger and more costly than those in the middle, those were my primary targets.
