“Robberies in Cities”
A woman by the name of Amy Diaz was robbed a few years ago and also in her childhood church she witnessed people getting robbed. I interviewed her about her experiences. This is what she said,“Robberies are a big problem in cities around the world. My family and I have experienced robberies well.. it could happen for many reasons, people might do it because they have a necessity and others do it out of a bad habit.” I asked her what her experiences were like and she responded with “I've had a couple, when I was younger and lived in Puerto Rico, while in church druggies used to sneak in and robbed the ladies purses of course being of a young age I was scared; also about 7 years ago our garage got robbed by two individuals whom crashed into the garage with their car and took everything that was in it”.
According to The Chicago Tribune the amount of violent, property, and quality of life robberies have gone down since 2006. The year 2006 was the year were those types of robberies were at the most but through the years the crimes have gone down. In that year the stats for violent crimes was at about 3,500 reports but now it's at about 2,750. For property crimes they used to be at 12,200 but now they are at about 8,100. Lastly for quality of life crimes they used to be at 10,500 but now it is at 3,900. For people who don't know these types of crimes, violent crimes are when people use violence to get what they want like money, expensive jewelry etc. Property crimes are when a person steals things from a person's house and the owner may not be home so they will not be forced too because they are not home. Lastly, a quality of life crime is when people are people ruin the well being of other people loiter and gang activity.
Instances of robbery this month so far. There were three men were arrested and he bail was put at $90,000. Two days ago three men were in their car and they spotted a lone woman walking in a alley and they pulled up and put the car in front of the woman to block her path. The men then proceeded to get out of the car and proclaim they had a weapon and demanded the woman to give them her belongings. A nearby friend of the victim took a picture of the license plate and sent it to police. The police later pulled the car to the side of the road and were charged with other things besides robbery and having firearms. They probably robbed from her because they felt the need to have money or because they wanted to threaten someone for fun.
On December 11, 2016 in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles a man was carjacked from his Mercedes Benz by three men. He was driven to his home and two of the men went inside of the man's home and took money and objects with value. The other man was inside the car with the tied victim waiting for the robbers to finish. When the robbers got to the car they went to a parking lot and fled the car on foot with the victim tied up and left inside the car with the engine on. Two out of the three robbers are in police custody as of now but the other robber is yet to be found. This probably happened because the man had a luxury car and he was probably rich so that's why the men targeted him. This sounds like something that would happen in Grand Theft Auto.
The last instance of a robbery happened in the south side of Chicago, which was on the December first. There was an Ups worker delivering packages to houses and two men walk towards him. They held the driver at gunpoint and took a majority of packages out of the back and left. The driver was unharmed but there have been no people in custody or suspected.The two men probably did this because they wanted to see what was in the boxes and if there was anything good they would of stole it. Robberies take away these Human Rights; Article 17 and Article 3.
We can reduce crime even more if people stay off the streets and we have more patrol in alleys and dark areas in the city or suburbs. Most of the crimes happen in dark places, and alleys.
