In smaller areas which I will define as being any concentration of population that has less than 5,000 people (it really varies by opinion but for myself that is what I consider being a small area) seems to have more danger or trouble with the law that goes undetected. It may be because there are fewer police officers that may be spread out over a large area due to the lack of a significant population in a nearby area. In the case of a community near my hometown there are only 4 police officers spread out over an area of about 5 miles. Other larger communities around the community occasionally patrol and respond to 911 calls in the area. It may not seem like much, but it is difficult to control crime over an area that size for that small number of officers. Underage drinking, smoking, underage sex, drug use, and drug trafficking are large problems in this community of approx. 1,500. These are issues present in larger cities as well but more often than not, people get away with it in small towns. In larger cities it seems the threat of going to jail deters a few more criminals than it does in a smaller town where people know the chances of getting caught are fairly low. Usually people partake in illegal things because they feel they can get away with it, in smaller communities this is not the case most of the time, most criminals, vagabonds, and general rule breakers play these odds knowing they have the upper hand.
I see where you are coming from. I will agree that in smaller regions the crime rate:population ratio is higher than that of urban areas/large communities. If that is your definition of more dangerous/wild, then I can compromise. However, given a larger area and more people, it is only logically that crimes occur more often; as it is in Los Angeles, Detroit, etc. Which means that if you are in a urban/large community, crime is much more numerous than in smaller regions. In my conclusion, I feel this argument relies on the definition of "dangerous/wild": whether it is quantity or ration. |
