It is interesting to examine crime races within the Control <br />and Study Areas in relation to the land use characteristics <br />of the locations in which they occurred. <br />Crime rates provide a better understanding o` actual impact <br />on the resident of the area than crime frequencies in that <br />they establish a ratio of crime to each 10,000 of popula- <br />tion. In this way, they tell us just hour .vulnerable a neigh- <br />borhood is historically to crime within its boundaries. <br />1978-1982 ANNUAL AVERAGE MAJOR CRIME RATE <br />BY LAND USE <br />AREA Commercial Coml./Res.

However, .whi.le the. <br />rate is approximately the same in the residential areas of <br />both, the Study Area exhibits a crime rate that is 127% high- <br />er than the Control Area in locations that are mixed district- <br />cemmercial and residential in nature. <br />12 <br />EVER00020 <br />
