​Link to the article we read in class today:

"The real reason crime is falling so fast"

Reflection questions: 

1.How did the “cell phone slaying” influence perceptions of violence?
2.What is the “crime substitution hypothesis”?
3.Paraphrase former police constable Tom Stamatakis’s theory for the drop in crime.
4.Some people are skeptical that increased technology use is responsible for lowering crime rates.  Why do they believe crime is dropping?
5.How does providing mobile phones to youth help those who are “at risk”?

6.What are your thoughts on the information provided in this article?  Do you agree or disagree with the main argument?  Why or why not?
