COMMUNITY ANALYSIS

Minorities have limited resources and funding from the government, discrimination on
minorities in education, healthcare, funding, employment, housing, and neighborhoods
improvements. The effects of poverty on minorities has brought on a lot of illegal crimes in
addition for the community survival. Also, drugs in the city brings oppression. Some people are
suffering each day to pay the bills and have food for their family, this results in any means
necessary to obtain resources for their households. Furthermore, people feels even if it means
robbing, stealing and killing for means to obtain money and goods. The problem in Detroit is
crime. The crime in the community stems from various reasons that affect the people as a whole.
Moreover, crime consist of murders, rapes, robberies, assaults, burglaries, thefts, auto thefts,
arson, blue and white collar crimes. Crime is an action punishable by law that omits an offense
and illegal activities. Crime can affect anyone no matter age, size, race, ethnicity, and
background. Crime come in various forms, acts, and methods.
The community is experiencing great volumes of crime towards children, elderly, and
women. Also, gang violence contributes to the crime rate. Citizen are afraid to walk in their
neighborhoods, shop at the local grocery stores, corner stores, and department stores because of
the fear of being victimized. Furthermore, residents barely can enjoy their own property because
of break-ins. Some feel threatens by being snatched and rape, beaten or even shot and killed. The
probable cause for the community increasingly crime rate has various factors such as mi
Ghetto blacks suffer to a far greater extent from these property crimes that never get
counted than they do from housebreaking, purse snatching, and auto theft. Incidentally, not con?
Sidered here are deaths and maltreatment due to improper medical care in emergency wards of
hospitals, where most blacks go for nearly all medical treatment (Headley, 1983). The city

COMMUNITY ANALYSIS

officials as well as the residents have challenges of making changes to the neighborhoods to have
more livable areas and to promote a quality education with a functional public school system,
and better opportunities for employment. However, these factors are failing to be produce and
more residents are resulting to black on black crimes, illegal activities, and relocating to the
suburbs.
In a capitalist society such as the United States, social and economic relations are
basically competitive and generate substantial inequities in the allocation of material resources.
Capitalist societies are unable to guarantee economic security to most of their individual
members; thus individuals must fend for themselves, finding the best available opportunities to
provide for themselves and their families. Driven by fear of economic insecurity and by
competitive desire to gain some of the goods unequally distributed in the society, many
individuals will eventually become "criminals." Many forms of "street crimes" thus become
logical, rational responses to the structure of institutions upon which capitalist societies are
based (Headley, 1983).
The strengths of the community are the people will to live, survive, and produce children
to keep generational traditions and culture. African-American families in the community identify
with five cultural attribute: achievement orientation, work ethic, flexible family roles, kinship
bonds and religious orientation. Although black families excel in strength with these assets other
minority families in the community have them as well. However, black families have mastered
these attributes because of their resilience to survive throughout their history of slavery and
racial oppression. The black church plays a vital role in the resilience on black families to have

COMMUNITY ANALYSIS

positive outcomes. Black youth strong religious practices have a greater chance for a positive
outcome. (Hill, 1997).
The general public often refers to single-parent families as ''broken,'' and characterizes
two-parent families as ''intact.'' Such beliefs prejudge the functioning of a family based on its
structure. Yet, studies have found many single-parent families to function more effectively than
many two-parent families. Thus, educators and other professionals should realize that the strong
achievement orientation, work ethic and flexible roles of black families headed by women have
promoted upward mobility for thousands of children (Hill, 1997).

COMMUNITY ANALYSIS

Each institution and organization contributes to helping Detroit with poverty and
ultimately can help reduce crime. Although, these sources are indeed a major supporting and
giving resource for the community but there seems to still not be adequate amount of help for the
community struggles and employment. Moreover, these sources assist with low income families
and the impoverish community but they have not resolve the neighborhood violence towards the
community. These institutions have not solved the increase crime rate.
The risk factors in Detroit neighborhoods are: substance abuse, drugs usage/dealing, gang
and crime violence, discrimination, truancy, low academic achievement, poor reading
skills/literacy, protective services for adults/children, animal abuse, gun/weapons violations,
unemployment, homeless, low income families, rape, mental health, abandon buildings/homes,
lack of funding, law suits, family violence, domestic abuse, suicides, high dropout, teen
pregnancy, divorce, sexual transmitted diseases, environmental pollution, and illnesses.
The whole community is affected by crime in the city of Detroit. Every neighborhood has
the same elements plaguing them and needs improvement. The demographics information for the
crime population surface the entire city, every age, and every gender and race, and socio
economic status. Moreover, victims of crime can happen to anyone. However, the four top
crimes to make Detroit community a dangerous place to live are: murder/homicides, rape, assault
and robbery. Over 14,000 violent crimes committed according to the Detroit News. Everyone is
the target population towards crime because the Detroit neighborhoods are not a safe place to
live.
In interviewing three lay leaders in the community, each one gave great insight on how
they felt about the crime rate in the community. Their perceptions of the crime rate in Detroit

COMMUNITY ANALYSIS

coincide with each other and they were in agreement with my assessments. Ms. Florence an feels
the crime in Detroit has spiral way out of control and is an example of pure evilness. She
proclaims, the acts of violence in the community is a result of poverty, lack of resources and
oppression. She feels the elite has the power to make many changes to the city but instead they
build the outer skirts of the neighborhoods up to accommodate their benefits. Detroit is coming
back to becoming a wholesome community with new businesses, parks, and various beautiful
properties and landscapes. The inner city which represents the affected citizens in the
neighborhoods that are classified as homeless, poor, working poor, and low income that has no
businesses, house renters, limited of resources, uneducated, and unemployed. Mr. Jones
expresses, the minorities in Detroit is dominance of blacks that cannot afford the luxuries, tickets
to the Tiger Stadium, Lions Stadium and Red Wings and these places are in their own City which
they live. How can they feel good about being a Detroiter, when they barely can enjoy the
beautiful places and activities Detroit offers with limited of funds for their families? He protests,
that government officials from the beginning of history knows where African American live there
will be poverty, destruction in the communities, lack of resources, oppression, discrimination,
and family division. Mrs. Williams implies, the destruction of Detroit starts with history of
leadership. The leadership has failed the citizens over time now the results are crucial to the
community. The community is filled with depressed, oppressed, suppressed people that are
mentally traumatized by these factors that produces the acts of crime in drugs, gangs, violence
and theft. The Community Church leaders have more blacks in their churches in poverty and
overwhelmingly still needs guidance a help to be productive and law abiding citizens. The
churches cannot eliminate crime in the community. Mrs. Williams feels more job opportunities,
resources, funding, and housing for the citizens can make a difference.

COMMUNITY ANALYSIS

Detroit has many challenges and attributes in social issues such as bankruptcy, lawsuits
and various legal issues with city public officials. Detroit faces disadvantages in educational
system, healthcare for the citizens, and homeless. Funding is crucial for the city because
programs are in need, social security issues, and unemployment is a huge factor because there
are no jobs. Abandon houses every neighborhood, crime rate is high, and dominant with African
Americans. Transportation service, ambulance service, elderly care, childcare, and mental health
services is poor and needs improvements. Detroit One is a law enforcement and community
initiative in working together to improve public safety and to reduce homicide and violent crime
in Detroit. Detroit Three Hundred Community Action Team is a conglomerate of citizens, civic
groups, organizations and businesses that help fight violence and crimes in the neighborhoods.
The standard model of policing has relied on the uniform provision of police resources
and the law enforcement powers of the police to prevent crime and disorder across a wide array
of crimes and across all parts of the jurisdictions that police serve. Despite the continued reliance
of many police agencies on these standard practices, little evidence exists that such approaches
are effective in controlling crime and disorder or in reducing fear of crime. In our review of the
standard model of policing, we identified five broad strategies that have been the focus of
systematic research over the last three decades: (1) increasing the size of police agencies; (2)
random patrol across all parts of the community; (3) rapid response to calls for service; (4)
generalized investigations of crime; and (5) generally applied intensive enforcement and arrest
policies (Felson, 2009).
Detroits high crime neighborhood 48205 zip code is home to the largest poor people
targeted for welfare benefit cuts. These zip codes are also high in crime 48201, 48202, 48204

COMMUNITY ANALYSIS

48205, 48206, 48207, and 48208. The study by NeighborhoodScout.com analyzed FBI statistics
from 17,000 local law enforcement agencies to pinpoint neighborhoods across the country with
the highest predicted rates of violent crimes per 1,000 residents. Researchers drilled down deep
into cities and towns to find specific census tract areas that had the highest rates of homicide,
forcible rape, armed robbery and aggravated assault (Thomas, 2013).

COMMUNITY ANALYSIS

The Crime action plan for Detroit City Neighborhoods is to revive the citizens by
showing empathy and compassion to their needs and wants in the community resources. The
community factors that would support this action plan is abandon buildings and houses that
should be torn down. Providing free educational programs and training to youth and adults
especially with criminal backgrounds to receive a better opportunity for a career. Restore
businesses for more employment in the community to reduce welfare recipients. More family
approvals for homes in their community. Restore the public school system and provide children
with adequate material and effective learning strategies to help with literacy. Make cost of living
affordable but conducive for better living environments. More policing the neighborhoods to
crack down on drug dealing, prostitution, robberies, murders and assaults. Restore mental health
institutions and more substance abuse rehab centers. Moreover, community health awareness and

COMMUNITY ANALYSIS

10

health eating seminars in the neighborhoods. Provide information and seminars to the
neighborhoods about gun violence, safety issues and crimes. Weekly neighborhood meetings
about concerns and ideas to improve the community. The people who have no trust in the action
plan because of past disappointment would be discouraging. However, if people see action taken
in their community and caring for their well-being they probably will be more onboard with the
action plan.
There are various organizations and programs that addresses these issues but they either
have limited resources, lack of funding, limited of volunteers, especially have various conditions
and restrictions to who is eligible. Focus Hope have provided numerous of programs and
assistance aiding to the community, The Kresge Foundation provides assistance in reviving
Detroit. Moreover, to be more effective in the neighborhoods the organizations has to come to
the streets of residents because there many programs and organizations helping with Detroit as a
whole. However, the outcomes for the neighborhoods and the residents are still in worst shape.
The implications of my action plan can add to their efforts and already work because it will
target every street in the neighborhoods so no residential will be left behind. The partners who
can help Wayne State University, WCCCD, DET, Art Van, Dan Gilbert, Mike llitch, Walmart,
Kroger, Meijer and many other wealthy former and present citizens of Detroit. The activities for
the action plan will be implemented through funding and training programs with theses above
partners help and community donations.
The Achievement of the action plan is to reduce crimes and promote a culture of peace,
love, and harmony. To bring opportunities to the disadvantage without stipulations and
restrictions such as the residents have to be low income, disability, or homeless to qualify.

However, the assistance will be for every resident in the neighborhoods of Detroit. To revive the
neighborhoods and the residents with opportunities for growth and development not just parts of
the community of Downtown Detroit. To measure outcomes multiple surveys and community
meeting each month to get feedback and address any issues, concerns or ideas of the residents.
The city of Detroit Neighborhoods represents a catastrophic community system.
The residents are in a catastrophic community because they represent minorities in
horrific neighborhoods of crime. The problem the community is facing is crime in the present
day of Detroit City. Everyday a child, women, men and elder is victimized by violence. The
violence of the neighborhoods spreads around the whole city and affects every citizen to react
and find a solution to this increasingly issue. The police are outnumbered and the residents is
fearful of their life. This problem needs to be addressed and solutions need to be implemented.
Every neighborhood in the community needs to rise up and take a stand to stop the violence.
