Sabrina Goodridge CJ 407 3-2 Assignment January 25, 2024 Finding Trends and Patterns All of the streets where BURGLARIES are occurring Pivot Chart What I am seeing in the pivot chart above about burglaries that are happening on all streets in the city. I can draw from the pivot chart that the most burglaries are happening on E Bay Street, and the second highest is on King Street and the there are several streets that have 4 burglaries on then that tie for third. The conclusions that I can draw from this pivot chart is that there is one street which is E Bay Street that has more burglaries on it due to it being close to major roads according to the hot spot map. The major roads that are near E Bay Street are N Highway 17, and Calhoun Street which leads or turns into James Island Expressway. I believe that major highways and interstates are a big reason why there are more burglaries on E Bay Street then any other street in the city.

The top 3 streets where BURGLARIES are occurring Pivot Chart (module two was only the one street with the highest number of burglaries) *Note: there are streets that are tied for the third most burglaries, so you can just pick the one you want to us The top three streets that I chose for this pivot chart are E Bay Street which has 23 burglaries on the street and has access to major highways or close to interstate exits. The second street that I chose was King Street which has 5 burglaries on it and is close to Interstate 26, and Highway 17. The last street I chose was Hugar Street/I26 because this street has access to the interstate which is a good get away street. The months these burglaries are occurring Pivot Chart

Looking at the pivot chart for the time of months that the burglaries are happening I can conclude that the months that the burglaries are happening on E Bay Street, Hugar/I26, and King Street have similarities in months and differences. On East Bay Street the burglaries are happening throughout the year in all 12 months, whereas the Hugar St/I26 are only happening during the month of March, and King Street burglaries are happening in the months of May and September. The reason why I think there are more burglaries on E Bay Street is because it has easy access to major interstates and highways. I also think that there is very little surveillance in the area and people who live on E Bay Street are gone more often either at work or on vacation. On Hugar St/I26 I believe that the reason why their burglary on this street is because it has easy access to I26 which helps the person to have a get away plan in place before the burglaries happen. The reason why there are burglaries on King Street is because it also has access to major highways or interstate and provides them a get away plan. The times of day these burglaries are occurring Pivot Chart

I can conclude from this pivot chart that the times that the burglaries are happening on E Bay Street are being done between the hours of 7am to 3am with gaps in the times. I would say the gaps in the times would be because someone is home or had someone check on their residence. For the burglaries happening on Hugar St/I26 are happening at 10pm at night with all 4 burglaries and I would have to say that its due because these people work at night and the residence is either a single person or married couple with no kids. The burglaries that are happening on King Street is happening during the hours of 5am, 7am and 11am and I would have to say that theses are the times that the home is empty, and the people are at work. Hypothesis: People with regular routine activities and are not home as often are more than likely to become a victim of burglary then people who have irregular routines and are home or have someone at home all the time. The theory or theories that the police should use in their strategies and/or policies are the routine activity theory because this theory is based on three factors of the offender, they are the offender’s motive, suitable targets, and the absence of capable guardian. This tells me that the reason why there are more burglaries on E Bay Street is due to the houses being more vulnerable to burglaries due to people not being home during certain hours of the day or night and are more suitable targets to hit and since they are close to major highways and interstates. This theory also explains why certain areas are hit at certain times of the day or night when there is no one home and the easy access to major roads or interstates. For example, E Bay Street shows us that the houses are vulnerable between the times of 7am to 5pm which means the people are at work every day. The routine activity theory also gives us societal patterns so if the person the offender is watching changes their routine activity, they can also change the time of day or night that they decide to burglarize the residence. So, understanding these dynamics in routine activity can help law makers and law enforcement work together to reduce burglary crimes by developing strategies like having proper street lighting installed

or having the residence install flood or motion lights on there homes and have someone regular check on their homes when they are gone to work or vacation. The reason why I chose the routine activity theory is because our daily activities are always monitored and for most people it never changes due to work or other reasons. These routine activities can alert an offender of when you are home and how long you will be gone for them to victimize you. When we add strategies to our daily routine activities like home security systems, or having motion or flood lights can help deter some burglaries from happening in your area.
