Research and write an essay addressing the scenario below; utilize the concepts learned in this course so far to problem solve. You can make up facts that you do not have and utilize any resources you choose; however, you must be realistic regarding the resources available to resolve the problem:
You are a police commander for a large city. You are responsible for the HappyVille Precinct, which is 25 square miles and densely populated. The population of HappyVille is 76% Hispanic, 7% African American, 12% Caucasian, and 5% other. HappyVille has a high poverty rate, and only 60% of teenagers graduate from high school.
On most weeknights, especially Friday and Saturday nights, the streets of HappyVille are congested with cars filled with cruising teenagers. The clogged streets anger residents and make police and fire response difficult. Drag racing teenagers cause many accidents. Drive-by shootings and large fights are also a problem where cruisers park and congregate in two or three locations in HappyVille. One of these locations is in the middle of the precinct at a fast-food taco stand called Sal’s.
